Haha, first your guitar sounds great and it’s beautiful. I’m sure your client will be happy. I get what you are saying about Jason, hardly seems fair that a guy could be that talented. It might make you feel a little better to know that he made me a guitar which I received just before leaving for Spain. I had thought to bring it but since he sent pictures of the process of building it I decided I couldn’t risk the airlines damaging or losing it. I really was unfamiliar with the process but he sent me a picture of a block of wood, then a few days later it’s the neck. I wouldn’t have had the heart to tell him it was lost. But here’s the thing- I play left handed so Jason couldn’t rip on my guitar. He said I’ll have to be the test pilot. So at least in this case, parity has been achieved.
He’s doing really good with building guitars, more than 30 now. Next time I see him we’ll be able to commiserate on guitar making. One day he said, well I’m a bit rusty for playing….. that’s like Picasso saying well I haven’t touched the brushes in a few days 😆
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.
