Shipping this one off tomorrow, thought I would share a couple pictures and a video. It has a Euro spruce top and Oregon Myrtle back and sides. I like this guitar a lot, it's really fun and has a great lyrical sound that just makes you want to play and play... Images are resized automatically to a maximum width of 800px

It has that sound that you manage to build into all of your guitars. Ole!

Thanks a lot guys. Unfortunately the sound in the video is not the best. I couldn't actually use the audio off the mic you see because it wasn't having a good day for some reason.. so what you hear is just recorded through iMovie. gounaro, I've built 2 myrtle guitars so I can't exactly say for sure. It seems to make well-balanced guitars that have good dynamic range and some of the qualities of both maple and rosewood. Cypress might emphasize the mid-range a little more.

If I'm wrong please tell me... [:)]

Cypress in my experience just energizes that midrange more than any other wood. Other woods tend to produce a more balanced sound generally speaking.
