Stephen Houpt plays a custom baritone Style 1 Weissenborn, along with a Style 4 in master grade Tasmanian Blackwood.

"You made a guitar that is truly incredible.  It has a lot of volume, a LOT of volume!  And is so very responsive.  Great harmonics, beautiful deep sound, miles of sustain.  Everything I could want in a baritone Weissenborn.  It also looks beautiful.  Congratulations and thanks!  I will be heading to the recording studio with it soon."
