The guitar arrived from Frank this morning. Put a set of strings on it, tuned it up & Sam & I have been taking turns playing it all afternoon. Hard as I play, I may have to get me a new saddle that is a little higher, but the guitar sounds good. Good action; actually too nice an action!!!! Frank did a great job & I am really glad I got this one. Classicals are sorta like oboes; takes some work to get them to play the way you want, but the tone on this one is worth the effort. The way he put the neck into the body is slick. I've never seen one done this way & it makes sense; repair, neck re-sets, action shimming all are easy to do without breaking glue joints & etc. The neck is contoured well for my hands & the fact that it is made out of rosewood is just flat cool. Going to Nashville for a guitar show Friday & am going to get a good case for this one. I am probably going to take it with me & let a couple of buddies play it.
Thanks Frank for building a really great guitar.
