hhmusic -> RE: Reyes guitars (May 1 2007 1:17:33)

hi forumers, i'm not a luthier, but thought i'd add my two cents here: i own a blackshear reyes, and have owned a 1987 reyes. tom's version uses a smaller dome than i've seen on other guitars, and its highest point is slightly behind the bridge. i can't recall exactly, but i thought i read on tom's site, or he told me, that he picked up this technique from studying rodriguez guitars. the reyes i owned and others i've played didn't strike me as highly domed either, for the record. lastly, a plug for blackshear: in my opinion his reyes version is as good as or better than the original. i sold my reyes and kept the blackshear.
