Very Nice eclectic sound sampling of those cool guitars. However; at the 4:00 mark my claustrophobia alarm sounded loudly.

It would be interesting for you to perform a blind participant sound comparison of your CF guitars and see how they rate in an acoustic only live setting.

I have always wondered if the upper bout sound hole being closer to the face and ears might skew the players prospective compared to the listeners prospective. Curious I am.

Hotel California at the 19:12 spot was a nice teaser bonus.

Well Done Kramster(as always)

Mr. K;

Very nice demonstration of an incredibly versatile instrument, Thank you for making the time and effort to bring us this taste.

Also, I was quite surprised and impressed to see/hear you playing under water. I didn't think you could do that with electronics.

Thanks. Great demo!

I think the acoustic sound is beautiful. I also love the clarity of the piezo pickup(s).

The electric pickup fails to impress me though. Why is it so noisy? I hear hiss like a single coil but this is a humbucker.
I prefer it without overdrive or distortion. Perhaps it could do a good archtop impersonation with the tone rolled back and played through a jazz amp?

Not sure while it was having a hissy fit, maybe if they made a hiss bucker. I only got the amps that day so prolly some time on them would be wee smart ..... jazz sound I really liked and the piezos sound really darn good into Bose T1 and Compact.

That Bose is hard to beat. As it the guitar. Well OK, and the player.
