Hi Bruce - you are no doubt back in the swing of things. I hope Rob likes his Sexauer Pernambuco as much as I like mine. I believe I also got a Guhl German top (?) and, if not, it was some German top at any rate. The top threw off some crazy sounds when you tapped it that even I could hear. Mine is certainly more “Orange” and it is beautiful to me but to each their own. Hard to get ones hands on pernambuco guitars but it , for me, is worth the search. I find it forgiving generally but if played with attention to technique it will bring something special.
