Wren Build Thread ... last of 2018 ... Sitka/Koa

Sounds (and looks) pretty fantastic to me David. It bears mentioning that I'm sooooo jealous of your photography skills. Very professional looking presentation in all respects.

Thanks David, there is no disappointment there on any levels, sound, playing, or pictures. Great job again.

I love what you're playing there, love the sound of the guitar but the recording not so much. Very digitally crispy.

I really like it when a gorgeous looking guitar sounds as good as it looks. This has amazing sound and I can only imagine how good it will sound with some 'playing in'.

Hey Jim ... "digitally crispy" is a kind way to put it, that's for sure. I somehow managed to record this guitar too hot and ended up with digital distortion when my clumsy hands pegged a note or passage. Also, my guitars develop in the midrange much more than the trebles or bass ... so I make them with a serious point to the attack transient and a scooped midrange, so that when it warms up sonically, it maintains good articulation and space between the notes. When this one gets played in for six months, it's going to be exactly how I wanted it though. Thanks for following this thread!

I think the guitar sounds fabulous, and your playing is great - I could listen to this piece all day. Did you build this for a client or is it for sale? (Asking for a friend. )

Love the elegant lines and clean design of your builds, David. Also, love the story of the build encapsulated in the slideshow along with the finished voice of the guitar in the audio files...and your playing is perfect to showcase the voice of the beauty. Thanks for sharing the journey with us.

Hey Stan ... this one is in the hands of the gentleman who ordered it as we speak ... sorry. Thanks for popping in to my thread though!
