A thread I responded to earlier today on electric and acoustic players got me thinking about Pat Metheny's solo acoustic album One Quiet Night, recorded on a Linda Manzer baritone acoustic. If you haven't heard this album (his cover of Norah Jones' "Don't Know Why" is the most well-known track), it's really worth a listen or two... or a thousand. Here's his pretty mesmerizing version of Gerry and the Pacemaker's "Ferry 'cross the Mersey" (original version included) from the album:
