Thank you very much!

You are spot on. „The relation of the tones to each other“, is making this guitar to lovely to play. Which kind of Jazz guitar are you playing?

@@Jouyan.T I use a Gibson L-5 CES, Sadowsky Jim Hall model (shown in my avatar), Sadowsky SS-15, Sadowsky Electric Nylon, Sadowsky Semi-Hollow and I'm currently waiting for a Buscarino Cabaret model (nylon). It's going to take a year to build and just ordered it in January. I can't wait!! Typically, I play steel string archtops but over the past year I've gotten into the Nylon Jazz sound. Specifically, Earl Klugh, Lee Ritenour and Leonardo Amuedo. I don't play professionally but have been a serious hobbyist for a long time. I just enjoy playing at home merely for the love of the instrument and music in general. I am 69 and for me, the guitar is the best therapy for both mentally and hands. Thanks for sharing your post. P.S. - Did he send you any pictures during the build process of your guitar. Scott

Sorry for this video😂 Hope you will get yours soon!

Yes I did!

It‘s a still unreleased piece by Karlijn Langendijk. It‘s called „wanderer“.

Back and sides of the guitar. 😊

Very nice. I have wenge trim on my guitar, I think back and sides would look terrific. Congrats.

Back and sides are wenge and maple(double) - The top is made of three pieces : cedar spruce cedar

@@Jouyan.T wenge with maple 🍁 I believe it will be very nice treble and deep bass

It‘s actually the standard built-in microphone of a Sony A7 IV camera. Not a high quality mic!

@@Jouyan.T thanks for answering.. oh really? Surprisingly did a top quality sound…. I’m thinking of it now haha congrats for the beautiful guitar.

Not only a great footballer!👀

I totally agree! An expensive guitar doesn‘t make you a better guitarist at all. However if you have reached a high level of playing where you play challenging repertoire , a master grade guitar makes the life much easier for you. But it shouldn‘t cost necessarily 50000€ of course. 😊

I disagree. A good guitar, can never be cheap. A good guitar, independent of one’s skills simply gives more pleasure than one made out of plywood. A good guitar has its own sound regardless. As someone who is in the pursuit of beauty, emotion, expressive power and so on, I would seek the best guitar I could afford. Which I have recently done, ordering a beauty from Juan Hernandez of the Esteve house, it was a close call with an Adalid model I admit). In Spanish, the expression ‘play the guitar’ is actually “touch the guitar’ (or any other instrument), so an instrument that is more responsive to touch, is the desirable one. It is perhaps like choosing a sexual / love partner. Avoid clumps! Logically, wood selected for tonal response, is going to be more expensive than other kinds. Selected wood must be matured, dried over years, decades. A €200 guitar uses cheap wood and is factory made. A master luthier’s guitar might use economical woods, but a luthier’s instrument is hand crafted and has been since Antonio Torres made the first one, but it is unlikely he would as his art and skills would be wasted and he would not be well rewarded for the effort and workmanship, craftsmanship. A good guitar makes learning both easier and more pleasurable, oh and faster too.

Going by the OP’s logic, why don’t we see virtuoso guitarists playing sub 500 Dollar/Pound/Euro guitars? They could save themselves a lot of money. Guitars are tools that allow guitarists to express themselves and the better you are at expressing yourself, the better guitar you need to do it. Most journeymen pro’s like myself are not rich, we make a living, but demand a high bar when it comes to guitars. By the same logic you’re not going to find a Concert Pianist onstage with a cheap upright. My wife’s Viola d’ Amore cost 25k. One of her bows cost 6k and in the world of violin bows, that’s not even close what some cost, but as a Swedish Riksspelman(Google it) she needs the highest quality instrument she can afford and she could have spent a lot more. Quality costs money.

Some guitarists will have one really nice expensive guitar as opposed to a bunch of lesser guitars that total more than the one expensive guitar. There is a point though where once you hit a threshold cost and quality that the increase is not leaps and bounds. I find this especially on steel strings where it’s just bling added that drives up the cost. This guitar really has a great bell like tone. Enjoy

​@drummerboy1390 His take is a little absurd. It's spoken from a place of inexperience I think. When it comes to truly acoustic driven instruments such as classical guitar/ violin every higher end detail matters. When my daughter reached a certain level in violin we knew a handmade violin was going to help her grow as a musician, - mind you 300 is what we spent on her last bow, not 25k- The higher end instruments are going to provide everything better- and even help out in areas that you might struggle with- tone/ volume/ general clarity.

Hi there! It‘s an unreleased original by Karlijn Langendijk. It will be out soon.

Serenata - Franz Schubert

It‘s a sad truth…

I‘m working on it. Hairs still not curly enough

That‘s why I said „the sound you are looking for“. And not „the tune you‘re looking for“. 😉 Calm down mate. Everything is fine. I was too excited.😄

a loud guitar makes my pianissimos sound beautiful. That'd be a great thing for me. Also would help me to play more relaxed, even for house concerts.

:D dynamics ?

I understand your point! But actually the sweetness and the variability of the sound make me not getting tired of this guitar. And it‘s surely not as loud as a doubetop or lattice guitar as smallman. However the projection is quite immense.

It’s not just about sheer volume. If a guitar has clear top end like this, you can get away with a lighter touch and the sound will still project.

Too loud? Tiring sound? I strongly disagree, if the guitar has loud / powerful sound then you can easily adjust your right hand stroke to play softer. But in weak guitars, no matter what you do you can't push the volume and stuck playing in a limited dynamic range
