giving it sonic character combining elements of the traditional arch-top and flat top sounds.
So I'm wondering: just what do these guitars sound like?

As you can see the guitar is now finished, and just in time for my birthday, which is today.
I'm real happy! The "hate" is finally removed from my relationship!
I hope you like 'er as much as I do... but if you are one of the vocal minority who actually preferred the old look, please do me a favour and don't spoil my birthday by telling me how much you hate the new version!
You can always wait and tell me in a few days!

Happy birthday!
Happy Birthday, Looks Great a "one and only"
Looks are one thing, I wanna know, How does it SOUND and PLAY.
Hope it opens doors to your best Creativity.
John, I haven't yet had a chance to do much gigging or recording with my new baby but here's a clip of her in action from a couple of months back.
(I posted this further upstream so perhaps you've already heard it before?)

PS Also I decided to try some Labella silk and steel strings (12-16-25-33-46-56) which I had the luthier install for me when he finished the guitar.
I chose these because I was hoping to get a little more bassy Lang-ish sound.
Alas, these didn't really change the bass response noticeably.
But what did change is that the whole set definitely feels "stiff", unfortunately to the point where I really can't quite manage those Django-inspired half step bends that I love.
So I think my first step with the 'new' guitar is going to be returning to the medium gauge D'Addarios that I'm used to...
