quote:
really think those two pale guitars look anorexic & sick, there should be a little more colour there, not orange but at least some more yellow. You are barking up the wrong tree, Nealf. Anders is a true purist when it comes to his work, and though he might indulge the tradition of orange-flavored guitars, his instruments solely exude unadulterated purity of material and workmanship. I enjoyed the documentary Simon [Escribano] filmed and edited 'El Guitarrero' about the making of Anders' guitars. It is, of course, a rather subjective matter, but when it comes to the increasingly rare specimen of truly luthier singlehandedly made guitar, i would not want any extraneous pigment to color or age the wood artificially, but would want it as 'blanca' as Spruce and Cypress are. If allowed to properly age, a 'blanca' will eventually glow, slightly darkening to a natural and elegant caramel tone, as will its sound. Incidentally, i completely respect one's desire to have an orange or yellow guitar, or to simply detest as 'sickly' the unvarnished beauty of Cypress and Spruce. Individual Taste makes it possible to have horse races... So, this is not a criticism, but my own two cents.
