I can't wait to hear your thoughts. Can we do a thread? Can I wax on you and '00'?

Tom, Congratulations on your new guitar! I love every part of it. It is just so well done in every way. I knew the tone would be good, but as you said, possibly the extra "fairy dust" was just the ticket. Whatever the case, you're blessed to have such an instrument!

So I have had the guitar for a couple of weeks. This thing is out of this world good. I can not believe the sound from this guitar. The bass is amazing and sustains forever. The trebles crisp and clear. It is very beautiful with fingerstyle (please listen to Steve's soundclips) and when you put a pick to it, even lightly, it just explodes in a good way. I have a lot of nice guitars, too many as many of us do, this is the first guitar I have owned that I feel kind of bad to own, it is so much better than I am. I hope this makes sense. I feel somewhat remorseful that I know I can not bring out everything this guitar could give to a better player....it is just that good. I have offered to let Steve take it to shows or to have played in demos at events so more people can hear this guitar, it deserves that, it is that good.
Tom

I'm wondering. Does Tom like the guitar? Anyway, congrats. You deserve to be a happy person! And then envy set in...(a good kind of envy).

Now I am really on the edge of my seat. Before mine got started I told Steve tone was highest on my priority list. I wanted a top that was AAAAA! I like good visuals but with that request was my desire to have the best tapping tone and response they could find. It is so encouraging to hear you talk about how yours has turned out. I can't wait to get together and try your guitar!

Tom, thanks amigo--we couldn't be happier!
Since no two sets of ears are the same, it can be a little nerve wracking sending out an instrument. "Will the customer hear what we're hearing? Will they like this?" Thoughts like that can prey on a luthier's mind. So, we are delighted when a guitar and its new owner bond. It will be interesting to hear this guitar one, two years out, and see what Her voice is like when she opens up. Play it in good health my friend! Steve |
