D'Addario EJ46 - high tension - in some instances, I'm preferring a harder
tension, especially with lower action guitars, such as this one. |

Master Grade Engelmann
Spruce - a favorite amongst luthiers and players. Time to open
up and mature, this guitar is already singing...maturity is simply a
scary proposition |

Perfect - with 0.050

| Sound |
The full palate is
available to you in this instrument. She rings, bellows deeply
with crispness of attack across the entire spectrum, while
maintaining beautiful separation of voice with exceptional clarity. |
| Projection |
The projection on this instrument is
outstanding! |

| Comments |
Workmanship is superb, woods are attractive, the guitar is quite loud,
projects magnificently, ringing and resonant,
holding a sweet voice (getting sweeter), maintaining excellent
separation and clarity of voice, while the basses are getting a bit boomier as I play her. The neck is very accommodating, allowing those
tight 2,3,4 finger inserts, while maintaining low action, no buzzes,
with superb sound. There is everything to love about this guitar.
This is an elegant and masterful instrument from a gentleman luthier to
a master player. An appraisal of this instrument values it at a
minimum of $5495

| Sound Files |
Double from Violin Partita I by Bach - This is the double following the Tempo di Borea. Sound is
recorded
straight thru with no filters of any kind except
to add slight reverb to relieve any dryness. For those interested, the
transcription is from my
Book of Bach
Selections from the Violin
Sonatas and Partitas BWV 1001-1006 |
