    Default More spam sorry

    Mate has just brought his latest creation round, so I have tried to take some decent pics on my somewhat limited camera, and a little vid. (excuse the dodgy playing)
    This is a treat to play, and i am allways surprised how much volume small guitars make.
    Any thoughts ?
    Sitka spruce top, rosewood back and sides Birdseye maple binding Mahogany neck and ebony bridge and fingerboard. Beautiful.

    well made ones do, poor ones tend not to. Its kind of the opposite thinking to solid bodies, for acoustics "less" wood/lighter construction the more it will project.

    Play a cheaper (cheap) one, heavy construction, large trunks for braces, weighs a ton and it will be the opposite !

    Clicking on bottom pic allows you to hear the guitar, but obviously a small camera mic does not do it justice, but when you compare the volume with mine and keiths speech as I`m playing, it gets loud enough.
    Yes Rob, Keiths started making some more acoustics again, as he says "anyone can make a electric guitar" Not to his standards i can tell you. His electrics have sold quite well considering I seem to be the only advertising he gets
    People just turn up and walk away with one.

    She's a beauty Taff, rings like a bell. Imagine how it'll sound in a couple of years, fantastic.
