The video is about 15 minutes after stringing up the guitar:

Andy, that's powerful!!! That motha is a beast!

How bout some specks? Woods, scale and all the good stuff...

That one speaks to me! Who ever gets her will be lucky. I have ran the video like 5 times already...




Shawn Brock -> RE: New cutaway Negra (Jul. 22 2012 2:34:44)

Oh, and one other thing I forgot to ask you. It seems like your the kind of smart fellow who would try this... Do you notice any difference in volume or tone with the under saddle pickup? I know you string up before finishing, so it seems that you would have a good idea if the guitar's sound was affected or not.

Any flamencos I have owned with an under saddle pickup already had it installed when I bought them. So I haven't had the opportunity to judge the sound on a flamenco both before and after an under saddle install. Either way this guitar sounds great. I bet she really pops on up the neck...

Awesome work my friend. You are truly outdoing yourself time after time...

Omg andy I just love the sound you get , playing and making . I hope when the time comes that I can afford one of your guitars the waiting period is not to long . All the best Andy you really have a gift .




Andy Culpepper -> RE: New cutaway Negra (Jul. 23 2012 12:33:20)

Thank you guys!

Shawn, the guitar is 650/52 Spruce/Indian rosewood.
It was made for Mir Ali, he's a professional player/teacher in Buffalo NY. Yesterday I delivered it to him and we took it to a party with some other guitars and guitar players and all kinds of shenanigans and great music ensued. Just to give you a taste, Mir made a grown man cry by playing Amazing Grace with artificial harmonics, and 5 minutes later we were accompanying a guy por Flamenco Blues with my guitar and a 1929 Gibson L5.
I have some videos that I may post soon

BEAUTIFUL GUITAR AND BEAUTIFL TONE!!!!!!

Ugh, one day, I hope to have one of your guitars!

Andy, you're guitars get better and better...

As, Ramzi stated you have "out done yourself"

Kalo




Andy Culpepper -> RE: New cutaway Negra (Jul. 24 2012 14:12:22)

Thank you Kalo, some day we will make it happen for sure...

I don't think the under saddle pickup had a big effect on the sound. At first I thought the volume was diminished a little bit compared to when I played it in the white but I think it just took a little time to open up again.
