Florentine Cutaway Jumbo Cedar Walnut. New clips!

Post by Herman » Sat Jan 31, 2015 3:26 pm

At first you saw the guitar and heard my own made clip.
Now it is at its destination: The new owner Bert. He is a great player and has nice recording equipment. That is why I removed my poor clip. Here are Bert's clips. He makes the guitar coming out as I wished. Just recorded with two condensor mics and a hint of reverb.

Clip 1: Autumn Leaves (intro)

Clip 2: Lotties Song

Finally ready. No 18. A jumbo with cutaway.

Except for some minor flaws, it came out quite nice. The cutaway for a firsttimer was a challenge, but I'm happy with the result.
Specs:
Red Cedar top ( about 2,8 mm thick)
Black Walnut back/sides
Ebony fingerboard
Maple binding
Wengé bridge
K&K pure mini pickup

I want to thank all for your positive comments on the log thread. It was fun. I hope it can be an inspiration for those who might jump into making a cutaway.

Absolutely Stunning! Every detail I see looks great and I really like the overall design. The guitar sounds really good as well. Well done.
