I was up at my local boozer last Friday and there was a bloke plugging away on a blackwood topped Cole Clarke. I had a brief strum on the instrument and it sounded ok. It was a good thing the guitar sounded half decent because the bloke's singing was atrocious
If you played it side by side to a cedar top guitar for example you’d hear instant difference, I think in a bar the lack of volume and projection can be disguised. When I had the Taylor here I pulled one of my own builds out and compared side by side. I do that with many “known” brands that come in for setups.
Being able to compare side by side like that always makes me feel good that my sound “recipe” is working, for what I like anyway. This guitar will be an unknown. I should take proper pics of my last build and make a gallery post, it’s by far the nicest saiynding build I’ve done yet, cedar top, Gidgee everything else.
Back to the build, slow progress but moving along nicely. I don’t see myself getting another chance to touch this one today.
