Ribbecke "Pin Bridge Halfling" Steel String

Folks, it's with great excitement that we introduce the Pin-Bridge version of the Ribbecke Guitar Corp's "Halfling". This is no ordinary guitar but rather one that takes the incredible Halfling sound and technology and shifts it's focus one step further to the Flat-Top side of the tracks. We are expecting the first, limited run of 5, to be ready for a late June / early July delivery. All specs are standard Halfling, with the exception of the pin bridge, and bracing that goes along with it, and the fact that it's a dedicated steel string guitar. The "Pin Bridge Halfling" will end your search for the steel string of your dreams.

We are also excited to announce that the new Ribbecke Pin Bridge Steel String Halfling Guitar has already caught the attention of Acoustic Guitar Magazine! Senior Editor, Teja Gerken, reviewed the guitar in this month’s issue. After playing the Halfling Teja wrote:

“Playing the guitar, I was particularly impressed by the way that notes appeared to continue their dynamic development even after my fingers had left the string. Combined with the rich bass, great clarity, and expansive volume, the guitar offered a sonic experience quite unlike any other instrument I’ve had the pleasure to make music with.”

Check out the full article in Acoustic Guitar Magazine or on their website! Also be sure to watch the video of Tom Ribbecke explaining the Halfling technology and Teja demonstrating the sound of their newest guitar!

There are a limited number of inaugural Pin Bridge Steel String Halfling Guitars in reserve! Call to order one today!
