Brian Truesby aka USB Chord was kind enough to record my wonderful stable of acoustics. Here is a link to the video. Let me know what your favorite is from the recordings.

Wow. Thank you for sharing this. Brian is such a wonderful musician, a great person to have audition the guitars. All of the guitars are magnificent, and I am sure each one of them is your favorite at different times, in different moods, or on different kinds of songs. My favorites in this playing of them were the Sexauer 00 and the Walker Cocobolo, followed closely by the (very different) Somogyi. The LeGeyt is also a knockout aesthetically. Wonderful examples of the pinnacle of guitar-making. Do you have a favorite?

Thanks for posting....never heard of the player, but he has a very familiar feel to my own playing, so thanks for sharing also!

I liked the first 2 guitars, the Brondel, and the Sexauer 00....seem to have a certain sweetness, balance, and practical features

Jamie you are spot on. They are all very unique and which ever one I’m playing is my favorite at that moment. I have a rule no more than two from any one builder, so that tells you how I feel about Kim’s and Bruce’s guitars. I’m also on Burton’s list for 2023 build which will be my second with him. The CL which he built for me this year is remarkable in its own right and so hard to put down.

My top four in that order would probably be the Somogyi, Walker OM, Olson SJ and Sexauer Kerala. Really splitting hairs though as they’re all absolutely wonderful. The Somogyi and Walker OM though are absolutely holy grail level guitars.

WHOA, what a line up, so fun to be able to hear those back to back, thanks for sharing and awesome playing...

[Dustinfurlow]

I could vicariously feel the joy, yet difficulty keeping composure Brian must’ve had to deal with playing these. Haha

I’ll take one of each.

What a treat. Thanks for sharing.

I agree, they are all incredible examples of fine guitars from fine luthiers. I watched it twice, and after every guitar, the next one was my favorite. Not to take away from any of the other guitars, but the Walker OM seemed to have something that the others didn't. Same thing can be said for the Somogyi.

You did notice the big smile on his face when he hit the first chord on the Somogyi [emoji2]

[ChuckS]

That was a fun listen. With a talented player, and talented luthiers, it seems that all body styles and wood combinations can be wonderful. Thanks for posting this.
