An Epic GuitarLarry Campbell’s 1996 Linda Manzerbaritone celebrates his love of mythologyBY BAKER RORICK

GREAT ACOUSTICS

Larry Campbell was on tour with k.d. lang in Canada in1996 when he ran into luthierLinda Manzer at a Toronto workshop and commissioned this baritone guitar. Camp-bell, the multi-instrumentalist who’s played with Bob Dylan, Levon Helm and

many others, was looking for something with epic appeal.“Enraptured with King Arthur and the Avalon mythology,” Campbell sug-

gested the theme for a graphic headstock design that inspired Manzer to

create “Excalibur and the Lady of the Lake,” which is inlaid with abalone,mother of pearl, silver (from a melted-down Canadian dime), garnet, curlybirds-eye maple, mahogany, plus hand-painted details.

Considered the queen of Canadian luthiers, Manzer is renowned for heracoustic archtop, flattop and radical, multiple-necked and many-stringed harpguitar creations. She’s created 28 instruments for Pat Metheny alone.

Cambell’s acoustic baritone is Manzer’s st andard model. Its 15 9/16-inch wide cutaway body has a German spruce top and Curly Koa back and sides with Manzer’s innovative tapered body depth – the “Manzer Wedge” – of 3

1/2 to 4 1/2 inches. The neck is mahogany with an ebony fingerboard,bound in ebony with abalone side dots, a 1 13/16-inch nut width, andscale length of 29 inches. Meant to be tuned A to A or B to B, with .070to .018 strings, Campbell has upped his string gauge to a heavier .080set for his “default tuning” of AEADF#A, the baritone equivalent ofDrop D.

Campbell, a Grammy-winning producer and Americana Music Awards Instrumentalist of the Year, has used this guitar on numerous

recordings, including Jorma Kaukonen’s “River of Time” and Helm’s“Dirt Farmer” and “Electric Dirt.” Its hauntingly beautiful voice can beheard to best effect on “Rooftops,” the title song on his 2005 soloacoustic CD of Celtic fiddle tunes played on guitar. AG

Baker Rorick , director of the Woodstock Invitational Luthier Showcase, is a frequentcontributor toAcoustic Guitar.
