Hi Bobby—Just listened to that YouTube video, and Wow what a great sound! So forward, so much punch, and yet very full and mellow when you play it like that. I remember when Dana was building these, and I went out to play one in an Annapolis music shop. At the time, it disappointed me a little—very dry and hard to play. I now wonder how much of that was the individual guitar, or simply my own inexperience in getting good sound out of an archtop. Or maybe these guitars have just aged super well. Likely some combination, but that is truly a great sounding guitar, and beautiful to look at as well! —R.
