After not playing my other guitars for two weeks.....they..are..not...how I remembered...To be fair, I need to put on fresh strings...but....I think I might be forever spoilt....
I now have 4 acoustics and would like to get that down to 2.

Balance and clarity are also two key attributes of my Sands, and I find myself currently moving away from rosewood and overtone loaded guitars.

Looking forwards to hear a recording in due time.
Best,
Hope you are enjoying your Sands! Must be an incredible guitar.
Joel stopped using a tonerite because it was fun watching customers go through the experience.
I was seriously going to go maple at one point, but luthiers like Michaud, Sands, and others do such fantastic work controlling overtones with rosewood.
The guitar can with Martin SP PB lights. I’ve tried Gallistrings PB 1254 and now Mangan PB round core Tru mediums, each is progressively more fundamental.

Hi Doug! Thanks for responding. Hope you are doing well. That O-R must be sounding even more exceptional after 3 years. I think it is still Joel’s favourite model. Someday I would like to try an O-R. Who need a big guitar, when you can get this kind of sound from a smaller guitar.

Thanks! My photography skills don’t do it justice I’m afraid. I feel very privileged to be the owner of this guitar. I would encourage anyone with the means to support independent luthiers, it’s a great experience and you end up with something very personal and unique. Not something you do everyday, but once in a lifetime what a special treat.
