rombsix -> RE: Jason McGuire Flamenco Guitar Cutaway Blanca Review (Jun. 1 2026 15:46:49)
|
Jason's guitar is splendid. He has the best cutaway design I have ever encountered. It's funny because now when I play a standard cutaway, I feel like it's not a cutaway anymore compared to Jason's cutaway. [:D] My left wrist injury is really happy with the fact that I can move VERY freely up and down the neck.
The guitar is also SUPER light - 2.6 pounds - so it's helping with my right elbow (cubital tunnel syndrome) because it requires very little pressure to keep it at a 45 degree angle (the traditional flamenco sitting position).
Those are all also reasons why I like it so much, but also, it sounds wonderful and plays like a charm - the action is just unbeatably low. So it's helping me stay excited and motivated to play (with how busy I am at work).
When I started playing guitar, I had a cheap Hohner HC-06 for my first 10 years, and I absolutely loved it. Back then, my playing was much better than it is today, so I want to go back to having just one guitar. The phase I went through of having too many guitars, too many audio interfaces, too many microphones - I think it was distracting me.
My wife is actually very supportive of my hobby, but I just can't justify all the experimentation anymore. I think I lost track of what was really important - to focus and have a clear direction with my playing. Once I have a bit more peace of mind (I finish my MBA), I hope to reduce my work hours, and start to have more tangible goals with my playing, and hopefully then I'll really get back to the "golden age" like when I was practicing eight hours a day as a teenager.
