Dave White will find this nearly unbelievable, but herewith I offer a sound clip of our most recent guitar, the Kelobra/Sitka FS. Recorded on a friend's Zoom recorder, no EQ, or editing (obviously). Forgive the less than professional playing. The Love of God Larry The Logger Two Step Steve |

Steve, That guitar sounds wonderful to me. It seems to be balanced and responsive. The playing needs no apology either. Steve Frady |

Steve, Tony, thanks guys! Of course some mics make the instrument sound better than it actually is, and I hope to own one of those some day. In the mean time, this clip will have to do. Steve |

Thanks for the kind words, Charlie! And yes, you may ask--the bridge is ebony, just plain old ebony. But I tell you what, I'm developing a new appreciation for that species in this application. We have used it on several guitars of late, all of which have exceeded our expectations tonally. Steve |

Thanks Steve. Intuitively, ebony wouldn't seem to me to be the best choice for a bridge from a tonal perspective, but clearly it DOES work very well on a lot of fine guitars. There must be more to it than meets the (my) eye. |
