She came out vary nice.

I did check your website to see if you had a price listed and sadly no I'm not in the market just curious. I know you put a lot of special detail in her.

Can you explain the nature of her name? I googled around some but no joy. Guessing a linguistic variation of eight pointed star?

Looking forward to the sound check after you have a few hours working the strings.

HR

ps. First day of PT and they hurt me ;) foot in bucket of ice water as I type. Aiming for an hour up and two or three seated in the shop tomorrow. It's showtime!

Thank you gents. I will put it up on my website soon, I was going to ask $5000 but probably $4500 with the current economy.

Najmat means "stars" in Arabic.

I'm hoping to record tomorrow, my injury is much less impressive than getting stomped by a moose. I was pushing little pieces of wood with sharp corners on a sanding block and they dug into my thumb right where it hits the strings [:D]



jalalkun -> RE: Carved/stippled headstock, new guitar underway (Jul. 2 2020 12:27:46)

Najmat...you're a genius. You could also say "Nojoom" (another plural form), but Najmat kinda fits it perfectly.

Also, the carved headstock looks stunning. it reminds me of my own headstock, it has a little carved and stippled part as well. so I have kind of a soft spot for it. is it for sale? [:D]



Andy Culpepper -> RE: Carved/stippled headstock, new guitar underway (Jul. 2 2020 17:10:22)

Jalal, interesting, glad to know the name doesn't sound weird to an Arabic speaker.
Thanks for the kind words! This one actually is for sale!

Here is the video. I decided to try a new brand of strings, Knobloch QZ Actives Medium Tension. They are really bright with nice articulation but bring out a little more sustain than I'm used to for flamenco. I think they would sound really good after being broken in for a few days.

So beautiful. I wish i lived in Europe.

If I acquire anything from Europe, there's considerable shipping, customs and our version of VAT on the total cost landed to Australia. My only option is to find an Australian maker, but I don't have enough info about who I should approach as the makers I'm aware of make classical guitars.

I once self assigned a photojournalism project on guitar making and spent three fantastic, mind blowing months visiting Richard Howell as he made one of his Fleta homages, No.271 in 1993. What a wonderful person. There's something warm and friendly about luthiers. Must be the meditative and fulfilling qualities of crafting art.

I wish he made flamencos.



Schieper -> RE: Carved/stippled headstock, new guitar underway (Sep. 3 2020 8:07:29)

A breathtaking beauty... so much craftmanschip... I bow in deep respect for that :-)



Andy Culpepper -> RE: Carved/stippled headstock, new guitar underway (Sep. 20 2020 17:19:30)

Totally missed these posts! Thanks for the kind words Marz and Schieper.

This guitar is currently up on the GSI website if you want to gaze on some higher-quality photos: https://www.guitarsalon.com/store/p6173-andy-culpepper-quotnajmatquot.html

Sounds really good, Andy. Your playing and the guitar. Nice design.



Andy Culpepper -> RE: Carved/stippled headstock, new guitar underway (Sep. 22 2020 23:52:48)

Gracias, Ethan! Hoping to make more of this style in the future.



Tom Blackshear -> RE: Carved/stippled headstock, new guitar underway (Sep. 24 2020 20:08:27)

Right on! You guys should be encouraged to search different designs and fan brace patterns to accomplish greatness in guitar building.

I think most of you are traditionalists and have a firm foundation in the Spanish idiom. As you know I'm a strict traditionalist myself.

I love what you are doing and I hope you continue to supply the world with your art.



Tom Blackshear -> RE: Carved/stippled headstock, new guitar underway (Dec. 20 2020 21:11:05)

hi Andy,

I may have missed this but did you sell this guitar yet? Just curious about the market draw.



Andy Culpepper -> RE: Carved/stippled headstock, new guitar underway (Dec. 22 2020 3:37:13)

Thanks Tom, yes, GSI sold it.
