A recent testimonial from professional acoustic artist Nigel
Mazlyn-Jones
.... what a beautiful sound has matured out of the cutaway sunburst acoustic
you made in 1997. It has grown on me to the point that it is now my favorite
guitar from a playing and a sound point of view. The craftsmanship all
round is wonderful and the sound hole marquetry is a special delight to
the eye. The tonal accuracy and overall balance across all the frequencies
from very high to very low is really noticeable especially when I record
with it, usually on a pair of matching Audio Technica 4033 large diaphragm
mikes. It also has much more volume and warmth than anyone would expect
from a small bodied cutaway acoustic that would normally be perfect for
jazzy crisp sounds cutting through, but in the passing years the warmth
has increased noticeably. It still has a crisp top as well but the warmth
has surprised me and those who have heard the un doctored raw recordings
of it on my studio Tannoy monitors. So thanks for a fine instrument that
has got right under my skin in the last 14 years and made itself a great
friend to me as it has started to write songs all on its own! Now I will
embark on retrofitting a good internal mike and transducer. Thanks and
good luck with all you do.
