thanks for your comments! In all honesty, when I played my first Somogyi, I just had to have one. then, it was the finest guitar I have ever played. Since then, I have found one finer! I sat down with Jason and told him exactly what I wanted. I had him play my guitars and told him what I liked about each of them. I played a few Somogyis since then and told him what I liked about them. He built exactly what I articulated.
I have played a few Somogyis since then and this Kostal build is hands down better than them in the tone department and just as good if not better in the playability department. I have played handful of Traugotts, Somogyis, high end Olsons and Ryans, and many other high end instruments, but none of them do what this one does.
so unfortunately, I won't have a Somogyi build thread next. My Harp guitar is definitely in the works, but if I have another build thread, it won't be a Somogyi, it'll be a Jumbo Kostal
