hmmm, very interesting! I've read about flourescence being one of the ways of determining a species of wood, perhaps that is what we are seeing. hope someone who knows will help us out!

Eric, I have to say you've been especially good to us. Two (Edit: THREE!! )videos, many beautiful photos, lots of words regarding the guitar and excellent documentation of the build process overall. I just want you to know that I (we!) appreciate all the effort you've gone through in documenting it. This thread is the new gold standard. Thanks.

this has been my favorite build thread for a looong time! i'm absolutely looking forward your Somogyi build thread! are you still trying to make that commision?
i had the chance to meet Ervin at his workshop and play the guitar that was at Healdsbourg (the Andamento) and i still see it in dreams...

I have played a few Somogyis since then and this Kostal build is hands down better than them in the tone department and just as good if not better in the playability department. I have played handful of Traugotts, Somogyis, high end Olsons and Ryans, and many other high end instruments, but none of them do what this one does. so unfortunately, I won't have a Somogyi build thread next. My Harp guitar is definitely in the works, but if I have another build thread, it won't be a Somogyi, it'll be a Jumbo Kostal

your one lucky guy!! So many amazing guitars and a custom harp guitar on the way, how long until in the construction stage? Ever thought about commissioning a Greenfield? With all those fantastic builders you've dealt with adding him into the list would make for one of the best private collections in the world!

Is that Greenfield G-1 a 2004? Looks exactly like one i've seen for sale lol I'd love a Kostal Jumbo and i'm tempted to commission one, i've been looking for a high end guitar for a while and started with a lower budget but after looking into the added cost of the import taxes i took a step back. But after after putting alot of thought into it and having discussion's here on the forum and with a few players, i decided to go ahead with my original plan. I've decided to increase my budget to allow for those import fees and buy either a used high end guitar from North America or to commission one, there's too many North American builders that i admire for me not to because of the importation fees. Take it from a European, you're very lucky to have access to so many builders on your side of the pond without having to pay 23% or more in fees which majority of the time exclude these guitars from us Europeans. Anyway i'm looking forward to owning a high end guitar from North America and depending on what i can find in the used market between now and Christmas i may sign up for a Kostal build and we can compare notes

and yes, that Greenfield in the pic is the same one in the classifieds! Do yourself a favor and at least email Jason. See if he is a right match for you. If you want a used high end guitar, I do have Ryan Cathedral for sale
