This is the guitar I build twice, because I damaged the top when it was ready the first time.
It is a M-style Jumbo with a fallaway cutaway (sometimes here called "Ditson style", I could not find such a Ditson).
Anyway:

Cedar top
Padouk Back/sides
Madagascar Rosewood fingerboard/headplate/bridge
Ebony/Crow's feet binding
Honduran Mahogany neck

The new owner is a better player than me, so he dropped some clips:
Recorded with condensor microphones, without effects

Clip 1
Clip 2
Clip 3
Clip 4

The guitar looks and sounds great! Did you make the crows feet purflings? The guitar sounds like it has a great deep voice.

Thanks John, the purfling came from the UK. Expensive (10 bucks a piece) but nice.

BTW - there is no such thing, as far as I know, as 'Ditson-style' cutaway. (I could be wrong). The only one I've seen is the one I build back when. I got the 'fallaway' part from an online gallery of Bourgois guitars, but they weren't Ditsons.

Beautiful guitar Herman. Excellent sound. Do you think the fall away style changed the sound or volume as compared to other cutaways?
