Sounds beautiful Chris Matches its looks!

I'm a particular fan of Ziricote, so that has to be my favourite... although the Sapele ES looks stunning. Plus I'm still haunted by a Cocobolo Hamblin GC I looked after for a while...

...man I wish I could get to Memphis!! Best of luck with the show, you deserve to do really well with these four lovely guitars.

My wife and I had a great time at the show meeting new friends, talking guitars, and getting to hear my guitars in the hands of much more talented players than myself.









I even got a visit from the man himself:



It was an honor to have J.R. play my guitars. And an honor to be involved with the show. Thanks to all those who stopped by to take a gander at my work.

I got to spend some time with the cocobolo/cedar guitar. It sounded wonderful and looked fantastic. It was light and lively. Very nice guitar from a great builder. His wife has a great eye for color combinations.
It was my first show and I hadn't heard of Ensor guitars. Chris' work stood out.

Thanks for stopping by and taking some time to play some of my work. I appreciate the kind words and am glad you enjoyed the cocobolo/cedar concert.

I wasn't happy with how the videos originally turned out for these guitars. So I took some time and rerecorded videos for the three that I currently have in the shop. I spent a long time placing the mic to make sure it was as accurate of a sound as possible. I am very happy with the videos this go around. Check them out and let me know what you think. Thanks.

Chris, the re-recordings sound really nice! Love the Carpathian/Ziricote, full and rich. If I weren't lusting after Sinker Redwood...

Beautiful instruments, best of.uck with the sale!

Thank you, Chris. I had seen your clean builds on the AGF but getting to play one in person was a thrill. Beautiful tones from every one.

JR,
I am glad you liked what you heard. It was nice to meet you in person and get a mini concert as well.

Here is the rerecording of the cocobolo & western red cedar concert. My client was kind enough to let me have it long enough to redo the video before they took full possession of it.
