Can't decide if the playing or the guitar is more beautiful... Great stuff!
Is that Stanke playing the guitar or someone else? Sounds great and lively, a unique sound.
I remember @Brad Herman writing about it. A gorgeous instrument and it sounds great.
Thank you guys!
Yeap, I played it myself :) I aslo believe it is impossible to evaluate the result if you can't play what you have created. I've seen many luthiers just strum few chords and try to judge, but the sound should be taken propertly with a touch of musician, especially in gypsy jazz with it's very specific rest stroke. You should feel the dynamics, responce, sustain, overtones while playing different songs. Just IMHO :) I'm not judging anyone for not doing that

In the Navy, we'd say: "I like the cut of his jib!"
P.S. Is there any way to trim down the "Quote" box contents to just the part I want to quote and note the whole d@mn thread? Used to be I could edit the HTML....

Yes, instead of using the full quote button under the post, just cut and paste what you want to quote into the your post and then use the tool on the left to format it as a quote, which is what I did above.

Thank you m', I had never noticed that tool before!
Yeah I also thought you can only quote the entire post. Cool, thanks for asking Bill!
Insteresting to hear Vadim's discussion of tone, etc. By analogy -- some of the best old bluegrass banjos have the quality that each note has good sustain, but as soon as you play the next note the previous note stops, creating great separation of notes. Each note is punchy enough to sort of shake the top, "resetting" it.
