Wow. Beautiful work. The rosette is really something. I'm also a big fan of whatever staining technique it is that gives that slightly uneven looking patina. Very "earthy."
Your guitars really do sound great. I can tell they are punchy, responsive and light. The separation is always evident in the videos i have listened to. They seem to have the qualities i look for in a flamenco guitar.
It's nice to hear Jason comment on the playability. To me that's the most important part. When the guitar is able to encourage the players hands to relax and then responds even more when doing so. I get the feeling your guitars have that quality.
Ethan, is this the first guitar you posted on the classifieds over here? I see your prices have went up already! LOL Great for you man! Watch Jason though, he may never give that one back. He's sounding like he may want to hold on to it. Great job Man! Both blancas you posted on the classifieds sounded great, and I'm guessing one if not both of them have found homes. There's something to be said for a guy who goes from Dropout to Chemist to guitar maker!

RE: Jason McGuire's first impression... (in reply to Shawn Brock)
Hi, Shawn.
No, this is neither of the guitars I posted on the Foro earlier. One of those just sold tonight (White Golpeador) and someone is planning to buy the other one this weekend.
This one is for sale. Jason is just being the greatest guy and helping me promote my work. (I can always send him another.)
Anyone interested in buying this one, please contact me. I would send them a Paypal invoice and then simply email Jason a prepaid UPS label to have the guitar shipped to the buyer. I guess I've set the price at $3000. But I'll throw in a hard case and shipping (48 states).
Ethan, all of your guitars that you've recently posted sound and look very interesting to me (as far as one can tell from videos). Good luck with your art!
It's frustrating but I would never buy a guitar without at least trying another from the maker. You are on my list of luthiers whose guitars I would like to try one day, but I am a long way off in London!
That is a beautiful composition-and what a great guitar! I would imagine a lot of instruments would be overwhelmed by his playing-but that instrument sounds great in his hands. Congratulations, Ethan.
