Jan Akkerman ex Focus plays his Langcaster on DVD & TV

[andzwe]

Always directly recognizable, in style and sound, no matter on what guitar he plays.

@andzwe

Jan is the man!

There's an entire logging sub-industry (so to speak) grown up around retrieving sunken tonewood logs and hardwood logs from anaerobic environments. I have some 25k year-old samples, next to the fossil megalodon teeth, on a bookshelf.

[TheClawedMonster]

Ahhhh, classic Akkerman, this. The lick at 0:24 is just JUICY. I'm so digging that smooth, thick, distorted sound of his.

[TheClawedMonster]

Whoops. Slightly distorted, I meant to say.

I know the guy who builds these guitars as he lives around the corner from me, in Auckland, New Zealand. He let me play one of his Langcasters and I can tell you it's a great guitar!

[pas911]

absolutely `jan akkerman´ sound, wow i love his music

[TIMOTHYSAARINEN]

I bet I couldn't afford that guitar.

[ronnieguitar99]

@TIMOTHYSAARINEN There's one on Ebay right now going for $2200 or $2900 or something like that. No bids on it yet but it's up in an hour. Maybe it'll get relisted. I know I couldn't afford it.

The wood looks great - I only ever had Kauri in my aquarium :)

[waiheke109]

The wood is 35000 year old swamp Kauri from New Zealand

[decisivecrewful]

@waiheke109 never seen it before. the guitar is as good as the player.don,t you agree?

[pubjamsessions]

Eh Yes I know that Gibby is My Name Gibby@pubjamsessions com

[brastoki]

Akkerman is one of the most inspired and technically talented guitarist ever!

[TheCheepnis]

agreed man.

[pubjamsessions]

Nice Gibby

[hulldanfan]

Read the heading and/or the notes.

This is not a Gibson - Its a Langcaster

[MediaControl101]

Jan Akkerman is the best guitar player STILL alive.

[movedam]

[klankhaar]

.. great,guitar sound. 10 stars!

[vittuvitunvittu]

Wow. His guitar sound is like honey. 10 stars!

[Kellerosity]

Akkerman is such a master and my gawd that guitar! Fantastic and IMHO guitars get no better than this. Anyone else offering wood like this, pickups like this? NO. Only Langcaster. Truly historical guitars. Made in New Zealand, I am in Oregon---wish the shop was next door to me.

[wastrel1066]

been stumbling around (on-line) for months now, looking to buy a custom guitar, but, something a wee bit different, y`know, you`re (or I am at least) only gonna make a purchase like this once in a lifetime, just stumbled on this by pure accident and man, I`m amazed.

[Kellerosity]

Tell me about it. I own both a Langcaster guitar AND one of only about a dozen basses! Check out the website. But I think the wood is almost all gone and only a few more Langcaster with it will be made this year and then thats it. All gone, no more. World's rarest workable wood in my guitars and I love just holding them. Worth MORE than every penny. Lemme know if you get one. Best regards.

[stevieVantanna]

Man that guy is amazing.

[enzoesa]
