And its out for delivery! Too bad I still have to wait until tomorrow to open it

Did it get lost on the truck or what?! That is one of the classiest, most regal guitars I’ve ever seen.

Hey eric I happen to need such a container - send it to me unopened will ya? LOL

[ericcsong]

I can send you just the box!?

So the Halland got here safely and this will certainly be a fun comparison! Dustin Furlow came by to play and compare too! Well have some sound clips this week. IMG_20191223_122622.jpgIMG_20191223_125218.jpgIMG_20191223_131400.jpg

Excellent! Can't wait for the clips...

In the meantime what are your impressions of the tone and responsiveness of the dc-h?

Oh my! I don't even know where to start! I wish I had more time with a better set up. Juggling the kids when Dustin came over was quite interesting! I used a Zoom q2n to record and used a neumann KMS 104 for the mic. I know thats a vocal mic, but I heard the capsule used in the mic was based off the k50. I thought this would be better than the mic on the zoom. So its better than nothing and gives you a sense of the guitar.

And Dustin, thanks for coming over to play!

You and Dustin are effectively neighbors? All the luthiers should just visit one of you to put their guitars through the paces. Would be great feedback for them and useful to the rest of us. :-)

Look forward to hearing more when you get the setup sorted.

We are in the same state, does that count?

A video of the Ryan with the same tune to compare:

[gitarro]

Eric, do you have the same tune on the wingert? It would be interesting to see the comparison with the wingert as well.
