Mark, This looks like a really cool guitar! I've never heard of this brand but your ad and you look in to them. A couple questions:

1 - based on his website, it looks like he tries to mimic bracing patterns of the various styles he imitates. Do you know if that is true of the f series? Is it in the Irish style with the dolphin braces and small ridge plate?

2 - I guess the real question is, does it have the sort of overtone complexity that the Irish builds are known for? I'm a fellow goodall owner. The only guitar I've ever played that matched my rosewood standard for overtone complexity was a Lowden f series at gruhns guitars. Is this guitar is similar, it might be a quick cheap way to get into that style for me!

I also own a Hsienmo F Style guitar with Sinker Redwood and Madagascar Rosewood. It is an incredible guitar for the money. Very Lowden-like tone. But I confirmed with them before ordering that it follows a very similar bracing pattern to a Lowden. This image is from their website:



They continue to evolve away from exact copies of other brands. Some of the current differences from Lowden include:
  1. Bolt on neck joint
  2. They route a channel with CNC machines for the bracing. So the braces are actually countersunk into the top and bottom wood.
  3. Moving forward they will use their own headstock instead of mimicking the Lowden shape.
