Congratulations on your Shopis guitars. I own two, pictured. I know they are virtually identical, but #2 was offered at a price I could not refuse. And if one needs work I ship it to Rodrigo and have a backup! I love the tailpiece on the Baroette! It’s been almost 4 years, how is it holding up? Do you play both equally? Comparing these to my previous D’ell Arte I think the two words most apropos are “bark” vs “chirp”. I will let you guess which one they apply to.
@neebs4964 I'll bet your favorite gum is Wrigley's DoubleMint as well, right? 🎼Double your pleasure...🎶
In all seriousness, do you find the two Shopis guitars to sound identical or do they have their own nuances?
They are virtually identical. The second one I bought from a band mate who makes good money on his day job and consequently tends to shuffle guitars in and out of his collection. When I needed to send #1 to Rodrigo for adjustment he offered me his at a price that was unheard at the time. Arter getting both back from Rodrigo for setup and repair, they are close enough that I alternate between them for practice and gigs.
