Nice work, Ryan.

On the subject of resonant frequencies, I'm also a believer in keeping them away from "real" notes, in the quest for balance and even response, though they can add a bit of character.

I promise I won't post any more pics in this thread until I get some audio clips... I just couldn't resist. After all, I haven't put on pictures of it with strings on it! I was at a friends house with the guitar and set up an impromptu shoot with my new sigma 50mm 1.4 art series lens. If any of you are camera geeks, it's a wonderful lens that's on par or better than Canon's 50mm L series lens, at a cheaper price.

Anyways, here they are.

I've finally gotten around to making some decent videos for this guitar(and a few others that you can find on my youtube channel). They are played by Dan Bankhurst, the new owner of the guitar, and recorded with an Earthworks reference mic and a stereo ribbon mic for some room ambience. Audio editing is as follows: No EQ on either track, just a little bit of compression on both to bring the levels up a little bit, and a very small amount of reverb on the first track only. I feel that these videos are a very honest representation of what the guitar gives to you in person.

Hot ****! I for one love the sound of a wild and unbroken-in guitar, and yet she's already showing a very sophisticated side as well. Well done!

Slick playing on a beautiful instrument right there. Always a good sign when a player smiles mid-song.
