Super excited about this... Balaguer Guitars recently did a series run called "Midnight". I was able to snag this the other day. I hope to have it next week. The Thicket is my favorite body shape because it's a modern T offset body shape. Roasted maple neck, stainless steel frets... I'm sold!!!

tasty man. After my next guitar I am just saving up for semi-customs or custom shop/usa stuff. I plan on getting a semi custom balaguer
I thought I would share update this with you... I just received this midnight Thicket this past week. When I received it, I realized it was the 14th or 15th Balaguer that I’ve owned. Crazy! I initially discovered the company a few years ago when I had to sell a handful of super nice Suhr and Music mans to cover some unexpected medical bills(having twins born two months early will do that even with the best insurance). My first BG was supposed to hold me over until I had enough cash to buy replacements for the guitars I had sold. Long story short, I never looked back. I’ll be honest… I have purchased Guitars from a few other companies since but I always come back to Balaguer. I’ve been close to playing for 35 years and while I’m no Vai or Govan, I’d like to think I know a great playing guitar when I play one. The shop is pumping out some absolutely amazing stuff right now. On top of that, Joe and Company have the best customer service in the industry. Hands-down. The playability and craftsmanship is right up there with some high-end USA manufactures the tones are to die for as well. It’s such a versatile sounding guitar with amazing value. I can’t imagine anyone being let down with the build.
