I haven't been very active here recently, but this is my guitar - thanks to Anders - and it should be in New Jersey USA sometime next week. I'll share my impressions and possibly a recording eventually. She looks beautiful though. Since beginning to learn flamenco about one year ago, I realized that I was too interested in other styles to be hardcore. (Meanwhile, I do have a '72 Sobrinos de Esteso so I'm equipped there in any case.) But I enjoy Brazilian music, and my own eclectic classical-jazz compositions. And I like to improvise melodically to various jazz-based music. I wanted a guitar that had the playability of a flamenco, because I was totally spoiled on that. But I wanted an instrument with more sustain, more harmonic complexity, and versatility - without going down the traditional classical path. I chose cypress B&S over rosewood to achieve a bit more emphasis on the high midrange frequencies of the guitar's sustain component. I was not looking for the boom of a Ramirez style. And the soundport came about because first of all, it's cool looking , and second, to experiment with the sense of spaciousness that is an element of sustain. Anders has been great to work with as many others have already found out. And now I await the safe passage of this piece across the mighty Atlantic. Gracias Andres!
