Hey all-
Well, I've held off a few weeks to respond to this thread to ensure I liked what I was hearing, but I wanted to make it public that I've picked up this guitar from Peggy and Dream Guitars, and couldn't be happier. I'll be posting some more details over the coming days, including a "first impressions" video that I originally made for my buddy Brian Truesby (usb_chord), and some early raw recordings. In the meantime, here's a photo Peggy and Paul took at the show right after I officially pulled the trigger. I'll post more soon on how this guitar complements my Sobell Model 1, the White guitar's new life in DADGAD, and more.

You learn to be a craftsman to make these wonderful instruments but the artistic creativity that is needed to make it a piece of art cannot be learned - you either have it or you don't and this guitar has been made with buckets of the stuff.
Can't wait to see and hear the recordings... |

So Brian Truesby and I have taken to doing "first impression" videos of new guitars that we get to play, whether they are ours, possibly ours, or just something we got to try out. This has been a cool way for us to communicate and have some tonal reference point for something we get to check out that's new.
We usually do these on our phones, and so the sound is crappy, at best. In this instance, though, I had my camera and mics more or less set up, so I started rolling on those and in Logic (although without much fussiness around mic placement). We're also usually pretty uncensored, often referencing other builders as points of contrast or comparison. However, with the White, I got lucky, and only did that once and was able to cleanly edit it out. The result is a video I sent to Peggy, as I wanted to let her get a feel for my raw first impressions of her guitar, which are pretty ridiculously positive. She then asked if she could post the video, and of course I said yes, so that makes me feel OK about sharing it where I often wouldn't share these sorts of things. So... here are my first impressions, shot and recorded an hour or two after initial receipt of the guitar. Enjoy!

Thanks, Nemoman! I was really happy Brett took the extra time to set up some mids to record this. I'm really happy with the sound!
