New Guitar!

Had to say it. Brand new Filipe Conde negra/spruce FP14N. It proves to be a very nice playing and sounding guitar for the price.

Cheers!

Jeff

Very sexy! I do dig the maple!
Time to practice now!
Don't make the same mistake as me and try to keep it somewhat climate controlled. Kept my guitar near a window and it got a crack the length of the body.

Thank you so much for your kind comments Sir! I certainly followed your advice - Time to practice now! Playing this guitar was nearly an 'out of body' experience. As I played, the sound I heard back kept encouraging me to play more.

Just a spiritual/mental/physical experience.

I feel so much better!

I'd say Condes on average are as popular as anything, but that's taking account of how much Ricardo likes them and then how much everyone else does...

Congrats on the new guitar though JLNims, hope it brings you a lot of pleasure.
