Wilborn Sidewinder - Honduran Mahogany / Adirondack
Hello AGF!
Earlier this year I took delivery of a Wilborn Sidewinder - his largest model - in Honduran Mahogany and Adirondack. Last weekend I had a chance to record an original tune with it at fellow AFGer Kenny B's studio. If you follow Ben's build threads, FB page, and YT channel, you'll know he is a master craftsman, contagiously enthusiastic demo'er of his wonderful guitars, in addition to being a great guy who is fun to talk to and easy to work with. The guitar can do much more than I am asking of it in the video, but hopefully this gives you a taste of its big-body fingerstyle magic. It's a pleasure and privilege to play. The tuning is CGDGCD if anyone is interested in exploring. PS - will add some pics in my next post

As I said in my FaceBook post, this is why I build guitars. A beautiful song, beautifully recorded, and played so, so well. Thank you Diogo- you made my day, week, month.

Good ear! The tuning is CGDGCD, which I've heard referred to as "Orkney" tuning.
