estebanana -> Guitar which defies gravity (Apr. 22 2012 0:07:14)
|
hey, everyone needs a gimmick.......
I'm calling this one La Leoncita.....I hardly ever give them names, it's kinda corny, but sometimes they stick. There is one awesome guitar called The Moth, but I think I cursed by calling it that. I wish I would have named it The Terminator. Yah.
This little Leona is going bye bye on Weds. or Thurs. I'll try to get a sound sample up beginning of the week. It has this raw core of mid rangy b flat goodness that roars. When you play that ringing b flat chord in sigiuriya and return to the A chord when you crop the A bass note, simply roars from within. It also has a lot of treblie goodies and a breathy E bass string that has nice pulsation.
The scale is 650mm, the bracing is five fans with two cut off bars riding high and out towards the edges. The edges are a bit stiff from those cut off bars being "coupled" with the curve of the lower bouts. Even with low action its got a lot of reserve power.
Happy with it, been strung up a day. I will work over the set up and see if I can get a test pilot to record some nice music before it goes to Oregon.
