Hey everyone! I just got my luthier built negra today from my guitar teachers friend, and may I add... IT'S FREAKING AMAZING!!! I haven't been able to put it down for hours until now. And the french polish smells awesome! It is the best guitar that I have ever played, and beats the living pulp out of the alhambra, Andalusian, and every other flamenco guitar that I have tried It has a really good flamenco sound, and has that dry raspy tone to it. It feels like a feather and plays like gold. This is the 11th guitar that he has built, and is one hell of an 11th if you ask me [:D] I love it. The stats are the following: Guitar #11 Type - Barbero top- redwood back and sides - macassar ebony (Weird right? But it sounds awesome) Fretboard- ebony Tuners - schaller gold 650mm scale 52mm at nut NOW FOR THE PICTURES! Images are resized automatically to a maximum width of 800px

The beauty AND the beast on the left... The La patrie collection on the right [:D] Comparing the sound and feel of these guitars are like comparing a fender squire to a top of the line gibson/esp guitar Images are resized automatically to a maximum width of 800px

Congrats Cory [;)] Looks nice, now post a video! Btw I've never seen Macassar ebony on a guitar but I do know that it is used a lot in furniture making. Oh and who is the maker? Have fun with the new guitar [8D]

Andy Culpepper -> RE: My new negra! (Mar. 31 2011 22:55:15)

Congratulations, the guitar looks awesome. I'm very curious about a guitar with a redwood top and ebony back and sides, maybe I'll get a chance to play one some day. I would imagine the ebony makes it extremely bright, maybe toned down a bit by the redwood. The only other guitars that I know made of rosewood are electrics and the result is stunning. Who's the builder?

cRobson12 -> RE: My new negra! (Mar. 31 2011 23:13:27)
Thanks everyone! I was told to not advertise his name. The place where I take my music lessons he teaches there as well, and he said he if his boss found out that he sold a guitar to a student there he would get fired (Because they want me to buy a guitar from their store and not from a teacher) I want to but it is out of his wishes, if you are interested then PM me I just can't release it publicly And yes I will release audio asap (In a few days, my thumbnail broke and want to get a sound that isn't from flesh)

HolyEvil -> RE: My new negra! (Mar. 31 2011 23:22:43)
looks good mate.. really interested in how ebony would sound like.. is redwood more spruce or cedar like? do a video.. lol and dun concentrate too hard this time, don't want u to dirty your new guitar like the last time =P

cRobson12 -> RE: My new negra! (Mar. 31 2011 23:29:53)
Thanks man! I have no idea man, the only spruce and cedar tops I have tried are on factory made guitars so I can't really compare them. [:D][:D] This one doesn't have a soundhole to drool into anyways so it will be fine ! I will do one as soon as my thumbnail gets past the flesh, should be in a day or two!

ralexander -> RE: My new negra! (Apr. 1 2011 1:51:03)
looks sweet, congrats! I'm also looking forward to hearing it. To generalize, redwood is typically somewhere in between spruce and cedar in my experience.

cRobson12 -> RE: My new negra! (Apr. 1 2011 15:22:10)
I am heading off to my college open house so I will most likely upload video when I get back. Does Adam Del Monte use a negra with the ebony sides in this video? Mine sounds extremely similar to his

kominak -> RE: My new negra! (Apr. 1 2011 23:33:14)
Looks like rosewood to me. I would expect the guitar with ebony b/s to sound dryer with less overtones/reverb than this example. If your guitar sounds similar to this one than your luthier really knows his job... Here's one with macassar ebony b/s:
