My new Andy Culpepper negra !

Hello everyone!
A few days ago I received my new guitar from New York, by Andy!
I' m very impressed with the sound and build quality overall.
It's the best guitar I've ever had!

Here are a few pictures I took before I sent it, including the inside so you can see the bracing

We forgot to mention that the guitar has an adjustable titanium truss rod!

Thank you very much guys!!
I'm so glad you liked it!
Andy really made me an amazing guitar, it's not just the sound quality, but all the specifications! For me specs are very important!

Andy, thank you very much for your kind words! I also want to thank you here on the forum for building me a guitar that I want to play all day!!

That photo of the interior of the guitar is gorgeous. So clean, and immaculately constructed. You should put that image on t-shirts Andy. The sound and playing is excellent! compared to my morning's meager fumblings I am depressed now.

I prefer my flamenco guitar spicy,
doesn't have to be fast,
should have some meat on the bones,
can be raw or well done,
as long as it doesn't sound like it's turning green on an elevator floor.

Amigo,
when I pull my Culpepper off the wall I usually play her until my fingers hurt…

Dave, haha. Merch coming soon...

Don't look too close or I'm sure you could find a couple of small flaws. "Proof that it's handmade" as my mentor used to say.
