Where did you get to play three of them? Did you go to the guitar show?
Pedro Cortes jr. has two, he comes down my way to do gigs on occasion with Jose Moreno (dancer/singer/guitaris/cajon player), and Jose has one as well. I played with both those guys recently, Pedro this past weekend.
Oh that’s cool. When I get over my fear of being detained at the US port of entry and the lack of enough top level people at the FAA I might visit my relatives in DC. Then we could talk about the secret code of cante and guitar necks. Necks are interesting because they are so subtle, I think about the neck especially the space between the nut and about fret 5 constantly. Because that’s where the guitarist treads water, it’s important for that to feel as an extension of the player. Sometimes I cut that section of the neck two, three or four times until I’m happy.
I close my eyes and feel the back of the neck in
A sitting position and go back and forth between the cutting tools and the chair trying to get the neck just right.
As far as Jason, ideally if I were able to afford another makers guitar, I’d ask for #36 from him. I’d also get a Green, a Rey and a few others, but I’m stuck with myself for now and when these are shipped and dropped off I’m building guitar for myself before I get back into ‘the list’.
