That’s the most I’ve seen you enjoy playing on any demo. Take the time and make yourself one! You always play the same thing and could help but to add some funk! Build it, build it, I’ll take your old one because you’ll never play it again lol You do some much for the community, all the free videos to inspire us. I wish I could make you one as a thank you.

Hearing the story behind the guitar blew me away, and made an absolutely gorgeous guitar take on a different meaning. Amazing work.
@kennethhuber394 Жыл бұрын
An absolutely gorgeous guitar. Figured walnut is by far the prettiest wood in the US in my opinion. Keep doing what you guys do! You have inspired this old crew chief and hobbyist woodworker to try his hand at building a guitar or two.

The best part of Change The World is the very last note in the closing lick, specifically when used in the final seen of the Travola movie, Phenomenon. Best use of a Clapton/Babyface tune in a movie, ever. Makes me cry.

that bridge is very aesthetically pleasing

Agreed.... for me the headstock and bridge matter more than they probably should. LOL

When you hit the low E, it won my heart. The sonic timbre platette of this guitar is just amazing. You didn't say the scale length or nut width used. Its a work of art visually and sonically. I would be proud to own and play one. The wood combination with your artistic craftmanship gives a wonderful dry yet pristine notes. When you broke it down the bass sits in the pocket balanced and musical. Round bass notes that are musical. its a guitar beautiful to look at yet its begs to be played more than just looked at. The sonic relationship of all the strings creates a harmonious beautiful voice. I would want one with the same wood and tuning. Thanks for sharing.

I also am a huge fan of the low E. It's what I care about the most. Demoers that don't know this miss an important part of the audience, imho.

Amazing tone! While I could never afford such a guitar, I appreciate being able to hear one in your videos.

An absolutely stunning guitar! Other than the inlay on the fretboard, I love the simplicity of it and letting the beauty of the wood speak. I would love to see more videos like this, where you feature some of your builds so we can see(and hear) what you do.

I appreciate your demonstrations, your explanations and your analyses. You do it with great skill. You have talent. You have a sense of humor. You are an excellent critic. Your analyzes are clear, clear, precise and rich in lessons. It's a real pleasure to subscribe to your channel. See you soon for new adventures. THANKS.

Fantastic choice of woods. I am very much a walnut guy. For me a burst on the top would suit it even better (I am a sucker for a burst, but I think I heard you say in another video that you are not a fan of bursts on acoustic guitars). That sounds amazing. Great job. Cheers.

One thing i've noticed with walnut back-sides is that you can tune as much as 2-steps down and still have nice bass end, not flubby at all.

It's really nice to see that you might be returning to regular video releases, I've become accustomed to watching this channel and it feels like something is missing when the lights go out. I know that your are all guitar builders first and content creators second, or maybe even third, but I hope you can find a balance that satisfies all of your commitments.

Even on my phone speakers, what strikes me is the separation of notes; that dryness really highlights fingerstyle passages (maybe to much?) and would force you to be as legato as possible. Not everyone's cup of tea, and maybe not for a beginner because it's so transparent, but I love it.

Wow that guitar sounds outstanding 😲👌 you definitely know what you are doing mate! I've learnt a lot from you, so thank you 🙏 My next build I'm looking at walnut and maybe a redwood top so it's awesome to hear a nice walnut one.....even though the top is where most of the noise comes from!
