This year I had an acoustic guitar order from a musician that was trained at the Conservatorium of Music in Sydney NSW. He choose my best stock of timber available and over a four month period I built his guitar. The top is Carpathian Spruce with Panama Rosewood back and sides. When completed we came to an arrangement to record some videos of him playing this guitar.

For this guitar the client wanted the guitar body thickness to be reduced to be more comfortable for playing. I reduced from 120mm to 114mm and this proved to be the best sounding guitar that i have ever made. See below for YouTube video links and photo gallery plus specifications.

Note: The first video recording version has No Effects and the Secord version is With Effects. When time permits I will release a couple more songs that were recorded.

Beautiful work, sounds great.

Nice work Wayne and a beautiful sound as well.

The guitarist in the video is obviously a classical guitarist......he must have super hard nails!

Very nice Wayne, that's a beautiful looking guitar the rosewood is stunning.

For further evaluation of this guitar build for musical playing qualities I have completed making the videos of the other two Acoustic Guitar Instrumentals recorded on this guitar. Each instrumental is as follows, 'No Effects' and 'With Effects'.

See YouTube links below.
