"Ben Lacy has taken solo finger style guitar and arrangements to an extraordinary new level. He plays bass parts, percussion parts, chords, melodies of many popular, yet uncommon finger style tunes....simultaneously! His original tunes are refreshing and truly original. He leaves the audience stunned wondering "How did he do that?" He has performed for Brian Moore Guitars at many trade shows and clinics around the world including NAMM and Music Messe in Frankfurt, Germany. We honored and fortunate to have him as an endorser of our guitars." - Patrick Cummings, President, Brian Moore Guitars
