Thanks Spook...

I am very fortunate to have amassed such a fine collection of instruments and had the privilege of getting to know such fine artisans through these projects has been my great pleasure. They ALL continue to make me smile every time I play them.

Appreciated...

I shared these specifically because they explore the space in between the two instrument types. The archtop/flat back performs more like an archtop but adds to the bottom register and a bit of complexity to the tone. The carved back/flat top sounds more like a flat top but adds the speed and projection of an archtop. The oval hole flat top really just sounds like an excellent flat top.
