I have two Bonanzingas, one, I got as part of a trade I did with Jay (it's the twin to his sunburst), the other is a gift from Jay. The one Jay gave me, is my favorite guitar in the world. It's a small bodied, all mahogany one.
Bill Bonanzinga is finally building a custom one for me. It's gonna be called the "Festus" model. I don't know what it's gonna look like, I told Bill to surprise me. I think it's gonna be kinda Martin 000, or, Gibson LG-1 size. I like small acoustics. Big ones always feel like a suitcase under my arm.
Bill builds great guitars. He just keeps getting better, and better.

Here's one that he made for me. It is like a week old, and on a balcony in northern Italy.

Jay's sunburst acoustic

Anybody know what kind of guitar this is. It looks kind of like a J45. I seems to rememeber, when I saw him live a couple years back, that there was a "B" on the headstock. I was thinking Breedlove at the time, but never looked into it. Any Ideas?
