Here's a shot from the fifth row of a large auditorium of Mark Hanson playing my guitar. Shot with my iPhone, so it is what it is. This is from the steel string listening session in which he played 33 guitars in a little over an hour.




And then, here's the demo of the 00 we brought.



Hope you can hear a little.

Well in all honesty, I may be a little biased, but they both sounded really really good to me. The recording is quite good with ear phones in even considering it is just a cell phone.

Your guitar is really beautiful Ryan, great balance with wonderful bass and the trebles really really good as well. Very Kinnaird sounding and you know I mean that in a very positive way!!!! Would figure though right.

Very nice job gentlemen.

Thanks Tom. I believe in your complete objectivity, and I will toast your health over dinner tonight. Personally I was pleased with the results in person; I'm glad you feel like it translated through the headphones.

In fact, it really got pulled up to standard pitch for the first time yesterday, and some random person played the first song on it - which is a first for us! It sounds scrumptious! The low end really has some profundity to it without overwhelming the delicate but firm trebles. With the wedge, it is very comfortable while not sacrificing richness. This is just a picture of the front, but it's the Red Eucalyptus back and sides that have been arresting passers-by.






The steel string listening session is this morning, so Mark Hanson will be putting this and 70 other guitars through its paces. I'll try to get some video or something. Thanks for following.
Very nice Ryan. The video of Mark playing it was great!

Why do I just get a black rectangle in place of the vdeos? Not the first time this has happened.
