Hello from England, I'm a 77 yr old guitar player, and to my old ears, that is the best acoustic guitar I've ever heard. Also the most beautiful. Thank you.

@edwardippoliti626 2 ай бұрын

That is absolutely the best sounding guitar I've ever heard , sparkling, transparent tone , with great articulation !

I'm so glad you used some sand shading. That really took those inlays to the next level.

Unbelievable sound, it's so unique that it needs to be featured in a body of recordings.

@irakopilow9223 Жыл бұрын

The way those stars of David look suspended and falling, morphing into 5-point stars in the flag is nothing short of pure art. I have done a fair amount of inlays, which I considered reasonably well-done, but I am truly humbled by this piece. Excellent!

Absolutely beautiful guitar ! The sound was amazing, which I was listening through with a set of Bose speakers. I must say the low end was just spectacular and when coupled with the mid and high range of the strings was just sweetness to the ears ! Which can be said in reverse as well. Fantastic Job !!

First off, the guitar is just out of this world stunning! I happen to be of Jewish heritage having had my family emigrate to the states a while ago so I can really appreciate the inlay work…BUT WOW, that sound! The first thing I picked up on is the incredible sustain you get out of it. I don’t know if that’s the African Blackwood or the spruce (or both) but it sounds amazing! You know somebody who has spent the time and money in producing this instrument will surely take good care of the woods.

@allandevore4098 Жыл бұрын

The guitar is gorgeous, but the most impressive beauty of the guitar is the sound. There is no doubt that is one of the top five best sounding steel string acoustic guitars I have ever heard (based on your KZfaq recording played over my studio monitors, which does not necessarily directly translate to live sound but is highly correlated). I'm super impressed with both the looks and the sound. Congratulations, Chris!!!!

would love to see more videos on inlay, I have built more than a few acoustics but never had the confidence to do intricate inlay work like you do. You are a real master at it, the best that I've ever seen to date. Every time you show off your inlay work I feel like less of a builder haha, it's a great testament to your hard work.

GLORIOUS! I love the sound of the Walnut B&S, but this is a whole 'nother level. There is a shimmer to the highs, but the body shape and woods make it a cannon on the low end. The Bronze strings have you flirting with "too much of a good thing". Instead, this guitar seems quite comfortable living right on the edge. High Performance, indeed. Impressive. p.s. In the spirit of poking fun at snarky comments, will we ever see the Woodstock guitar get finished. ( Sorry, I couldn't help myself.)
