Default Dana Talking Tops - Bourgeois wood selection

Here is a new video Dana just posted on his site that shows him going through a number of tops and showing what he does best.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O10hR...ayer_embedded#



The idea was simple: Start with the OM outline, enlarge it a bit, play around with the curves, deepen the sides, then add Dana's trademark cutaway. The result is our most versatile guitar; larger than an OM, smaller than a Dreadnought, capable of handling almost any playing style you can imagine, and equally capable of operating in solo or ensemble situations.

You're welcome.

I am hoping that Dana offers more of this informal style of video. It would be great to see him tapping and shaving a guitar top that was shaped and had braces attached.

It sure would be great to see him tune a top.
