I strung up a new guitar guitar the other day and for fun shot this little video of its first musical function.

Very nice sounding tree and, maybe inadvertently, you did a good job of capturing some of the way it feels when you first play your new creation.

Sounds better than any new D18 at GC!

Nice vid!

I love those first few minutes after stringing up a new guitar when it sounds like your ears are becoming unplugged.

great stuff! I may only a few builds in, but I'm totally addicted to that 'fresh off the press' feeling.
