This guitar was made several months ago for my personal use. The top is from Martin at bestEuroSpruce. Martin is a very nice guy and the service is excellent. I choosed a set of 2nd grade EIR because the owner, I myself, won't care if the back and side are not dark enough. My german spruce are from Martin and Allied Lutherie, and their densities are higher than the avg. sitka I have. In short it is not sutible for a loud guitar but the beauty of sound has nothing to do with the volume, at least to me. The sound clip played by me is Valseana by Sergio Assad. I like it a lot.

Impeccable as usual CW. But the link to the sound-clip doesn't seem to work. |

Thanks for your comment, Dave. Maybe you can try to download the mp3 file first. |

Tasteful and sharp, like everything you do. The tiny 'dab' of sapwood at the heel button is inspired. |

Good example of how inexpensive wood can make both a nice sounding and looking guitar. She sounds great and you have some serious playing skills there. Would you share on the bracing? The size seems to be medium. The narrow bridge is cool too. |

Thank you all for the kind words. Playing is usually more interesting than making, because I'm probably one of the minority who appreciate the guitars I made.
