John, this guitar sounds wonderful. Loud, crisp and clear, but not harsh. Wonderful bass too.
Good job. That is a "do again" I would think.
Thanks for sharing. Your playing is better than mine!!!

I second Kevin, including his remark about playing (as applied to me).

Thanks guys. My classical guitar teacher called yesterday asking me to make him a guitar. He was very impressed with the sound of this guitar. What really got him was that I put a 20" radius on the fret board. He is in his 70s and has started to get arthritis in his index finger. The radiused fret board allowed him to get clean bars for the first time in months while playing. So Kevin it does look like there will be a do again.

Wonderful John! Nothing embarrassing about the video. It is why you are here. You make great guitars.
If you were a pro-player you would not sharing with us, but gathering with the groupies at the moment!
