Ruphus -> RE: "Luthiers share your creations" thread (May 28 2014 13:15:28)

When I saw your post on the "Today´s post" list I thought to ignore it this time, as the impression was too predictable, lesser even about taking the hazzles of launching a VPN that tends to throttle my CPU, so that one has to reboot ... et al. But today with little of pulling news on the board I couldn´t tame my curiousity about the Luthiers´creation thread. This guitar looks plain beautiful to me. I like that tone-sur-tone appearance! It looks in the way of an old ( and dusted) make like say a Ferrer or such. - And in view of perfect completion with the rosewood fretboard: If my experience with only a small number of non-ebony stuffed necks is being actually related to the material, then we might have a deliberate trend before us for alternatives to ebony. ( The experience being that fretting on softer woods seems to feel and work out better. - I know that other players share this sensation as well.) And the sound, though the guitar being a bit out of tune: Nasty old bum on his cursing way through Spains midday heat. Hoarse, and raspy, but not thin, very full sound. Congrats, Don Andy! :O) Ruphus PS: I have only one objection with your styling. That is the heel cap. You round it at the pointing edge, about the thickness of the cap laminate. That eventhough accomodating ergonomically ( should one occasionally be bumping into it) disturbs my muddy eye in terms of design.
