Just received a short sound-clip of a Jumbo/GC I built couple of years ago from the new owner, thought I'd post a link, I have so few.
Original composition, no effects or EQ

I have a problem. Now I want to donate the guitars I made to a school for the deaf.

That just sounds utterly beautiful!

Sounds really good! Very balanced and clear. The high end has a very nice brightness with no harshness. Was it played bare fingered or with finger picks?

It sounds great, Colin. You should be proud.

It takes a competent player giving a decent performance, recorded with at least OK equipment, using a good recording technique for acoustic guitar, to make a recording that highlights the pleasing tone of the guitar the way this simple recording does. I think guitar builders benefit from looking for chances to make all of those elements come together around their guitars. I occasionally see builder demonstration videos with poor audio, or not great players, or both. It's great to hear an example where all the factors are in the guitar's favor.

Thanks guys for kind words of encouragement..
He's sold his Lowden F-35 because he was disappointed with it after playing this one, and has bought another of mine.
He offered to make another track for me, and I am looking forward to hearing that one when it comes.
