I liked the cedar one on the finger picking. the melow basses and warmth
and the spruce for strumming, its like it has more definition and brightness
just my personal taste.
greetings!

That's my opinion too! Cedar has a nice rounded and deep sound when FP, red spruce has a fast attack and bright overall sound best when strumming

Charlie, the sountrack is amazing you are right!!

Thanks for the replies!

Regards

Hi, Andrea. Excellent! Nice guitars, nice shop, nice tools, and nice little shop companion, too. Very nicely produced video. May I also say that I've made four visits to Italy and think it's one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen--and populated by some of the most gracious people I've ever met. Thanks for posting your video.

Thank you Patrick! It's a pleasure to share a piece of my life with the other side of the world! Italy is a great country with great people but at the moment very awful government [headinwall]
Anyway..for me and my wife visit US is something like a dream, from music to cinema to technology to guitarmaking to architectura..etc etc its a great, huge country with amazing people, and that forum I think stands like an evidence of my thoughts!
If you'll come again in Italy give me a call!

Ciao!

ps: sorry for the writing in english :oops:

Hello again, Andrea,
You will visit the USA some day. It is only a question of when. My wife and I will return to Italy, too. Perhaps we'll be able to visit Torino. In the mean time, don't apologize for your English. Your English is molto bene. Much better than my Italian! Io capisce Italiano un po. Io parle non bene. See what I mean? Keep building instruments and post them here so we can see them. You will find many friends on this forum.

Ciao!
Patrick

Ciao, prego, arrivaderci and that's about all I know. You are lucky to live in such a beautiful country. Great sounding guitars. To my ear they sound very similar, almost identical even. In the second sample I'd give the edge to the first one because I like the way it strums.

Also: Very cool headstock logo.

Hi Patrick and Nick! Your Italian is really fine [:Y:]
Hope you can come and visit Torino, we'll be glad to take you in the city and have some Italian lessons too laughing6-hehe
Nick you are right, they sound almost identical with soft fingerpicking/flatpick, the differences pop out a little when strumming; the logo has been made by my wife with Cad software (she's an architect) and then transferred to maple and walnut

I post a link to an italin guitarbuilding forum where I've posted the building progresses with a lot of photos, next building I'll share everything from the beginning with you!!
