I was just listening to some sound clips of my guitars that were recorded years ago and thought how much fun it is to hear the creations......I always enjoy listening to others instruments, so post your sound clips, should be fun to hear them all.

Here is a link to mine below.

clips 1-6 are an Aussie Blackwood/Lutz and 7-10 are a HRW/Lutz. Both 000-13 fretters, Lutz from the same billet.

Ziegenfuss, sounds very nice, did you use a typical Martin pattern bracing?

I don't have any pretty, pro-recorded sound clips but here are my #1 and #2 being played by some friends. #1 is the sitka topped OM and #2 is the mahogany 00. You can tell it's jazz because people are talking.





I haven't built many guitars, but I've set up perhaps a thousand. (I did it for a job once). Danny (on the right in the videos) remarked after playing them, that these two guitars play just the same. so I considered that a compliment.

Couple of youtube clips. The 1st one was done in a studio, and the second on the video function of a still camera. Not hard to tell them apart.
