NSD - new Squareneck day
Got a nice new Squareneck last weekend in Munich. It was interesting meeting the builder and talking about his instruments.
Now I need to get much better playing it! IMG_1643728870.681012.jpg IMG_2979.jpgIMG_2980.jpgIMG_2976.jpg

The wood is solid Pommele Mahagoni (not sure if the English name is different). It has a beard legend cone with a #14 spider and floating "cone" under the f-holes. I think this might be similar to the beard design, but I don't really know as I have not had the opportunity to see one myself. Open soundwell, with 3 post construction and a carbon fiber topped maple bridge. Overall it has a nice clear tone with lots of volume. Compared to my old 150€ squareneck this one seems to generate volume effortlessly. :-) It allows for a lot more expression, but also gets out of hand under my amateur hands ;-) I was able to demo a few guitars (he works from his home in Munich) and found him to be a very nice guy, willing to talk about the guitars and certainly passionate about what he is doing. I also placed one of his regular guitars (dread size) spruce over walnut that was exceptional.
