To bring in 2016, I just spent an hour this morning playing the 13-fret, Pernambuco/German L00 sized multi-scale that Bruce made for me in 2014. It is hard to describe the seductive timbre of this guitar. It is responsive and balanced like many other fine acoustics, but where it really shines is in the musical balance of chorus of overtones surrounding the fundamentals. Its string-to-string clarity is somewhat like maple, but instead arriving at this clarity by subtractive means; the resonant, glassy pernambuco adds a layered chorus of overtones surrounding each fundamental. This sound is unique, beautifully musical and different from any rosewood guitar that I have played. I am uncertain how many sets of Pernambuco Bruce has left, but someone should snatch up this spec L00. I am certain is will be magical!
