Blacks tops are not really a part of my design state of mind. That is to say that I would usually much prefer the look of a natural soundboard. With that being said, I like to venture out every once in a while in order to push my comfort zone. Underneath this black top is a master grade Swiss Spruce top.
I wanted this guitar to be a bit of a blues machine. I believe I somewhat succeeded but in reality, it is likely closer to my usual tone than it is to vintage blues - quick response with a little bit of growl in the mid range. This Michaud Made is great for fast and varied finger-picking. The overtone content is present but doesn't muddy the mix for picking patterns.
