Thanks Tom. I'm going to make this design again, but first I have to fill some orders with more standard designs, then I'll experiment again once those obligations are fulfilled. Jason needed certain tool and I tried to provide it. One thing about this guitar is that it plays really easy, ligados and alzapua are easy to generate. And the access to the upper registers is quite open. Jason gigs a few times a week and he needs a guitar that wont tear him up, yet still has some guts, I think I managed to get both things in this guitar. At some point I hope a cleaner recording comes out, this was done on an iPhone... He plays jobs with a dual internal mic system that picks up the sound hole and under the bridge. He can manipulate the sound quite a bit, so in a sense this guitar is a platform for his sound system. Since I knew that going in I made the guitar play soft and was not worried about making it loud, it just happens to be loud when played acoustically...well he he not just happens to be. The thing I wanted was a guitar that felt wonderful to play so he would not stress at gigs. He has about four or five nice guitars to choose from now and mine if just one of them. Ironically, since I left town, I have not heard him play my guitar in public and I really miss my professional guitar playing friends.
