Firstly sorry Koella and Flo i know you hate the whole posting picture of your guitar thing and i thought i never would but here i am[:D] anyway, im sure u will flo when u get your anders! well i took a gamble (a big gamble) and went for an unknown luthier. I did research as much as i could and as far as i could tell it looked vey promising for the money. I did it, i picked it up today, i changed the strings to luthier reds and lo and behold IT PAYED OFF!!!!!!![:)][:)][:)] anyway i hope he gets famous and the value go's up. The luthier is Narcisco Fumero who is based in florida, if your down that way check him out, i like the guitar i bought. Its a negra btw. heres the specs: 655mm Scale, 52mm at Nut, 60.5mm String Spacing at Saddle. 3mm at 12th Fret Bass string. Bookmatched Solid Pau Ferro-Amazonian Rosewood Back & Sides,Solid Sitka Spruce Soundboard. Rubner, German Brass Tuners, with Ebony Buttons. o.k here come the photos[>:] (sorry flo[:D]) Images are resized automatically to a maximum width of 800px

Good for you Dominic. It looks beautiful. Please upload some music. Though pictures are nice too....of course.[8\|]

looks classy! the rosetto with the small guitars may be an odd design, but on a distance it comes across nice. cool headshape, has some oriental feel to it (i'm weak for those ebony tuners as well).. i need to get a job, all the beautiful handmade guitars in this section are tying a knot in my stomache.

Dominic, That is a nice looking guitar! The bracing pattern is very unusual however. I am curious if you played his guitars before you ordered? I did much the same, ordered a guitar sight unseen, waited a couple years, and was very pleasantly surprised. Congratulations!

thanks koella, yeah ill upload something soonish i just wanna get to know her a little better[:D] mrMagenta you just made me feel a little better about the rosette thanks! your right it looks o.k from a distance[:)] (i keep telling myself that anyway[:D] i really dig the headstock too its a little different. you should do it man, save up for a nice handmade guitar its something youll have for a long time so its a good use of cash. Thats exactly what i thought when i saw the bracing sherman, it looks way different to others i have seen. Actually i have another bracing photo which is a bit clearer ill upload it, illd be interested to hear anders or anyone elses thoughts on it. No i didnt play it before ordering, that was the gamble. It could have easily got here and i hated it, so im really lucky i guess. heres a better shot of the bracing (any thoughts or comments about the bracing would be great).

Congrats Dominic. I think the rosette fits well with the rest of the guitar, and the rosewood is stunning. OBTW, i think it's cool to post pics of your guitar (s).

Very nice Dominic. I've always wondered about these guitars as I see them from time to time. Did anyone notice the thin pinstripes on the nut?

hi alo! havent seen u in here for a while i hope all is well, florians being telling about this gig u and him are doing for this guitar festival it sounds great! Im glad u like the whole posting pictures thing samwise[:D] yeah the back and sides look nice its not true rosewood, its pau ferro which is also known as 'amazonian rosewood', its ment to have similar properties to rosewood but have a lighter sound. Its used in steel strings a fair bit i think. hey Tom hows things man!! thats interesting did u ever try one out? i found 4 review on harmony central, 3 on his classicals and 1 on his negra. All reviews were very favourable. But anyone can put in a review at harmony central so u never know if they are just there to promote something. Anyway i think now that maybe they were legimate reviews from owners of the guitars[8\|]

Hey, everyone, Dominic's got a girlfriend! Woooooo loveeeeeers! That's why you don't hang out with your friends online anymore, huh? [:@] Isn't it a bit early to be posting photos of her undressed, though? Seriously though, she looks lovely, look forward to meeting her one day! Did you see Anders' new axe? http://www.foroflamenco.com/New_Eliasson_%27_coral%27/m_65632/p_1/tmode_1/smode_1/tm.htm [:D]
