Thanks

And - other than some final set-up tweaks - it's finished

So - as it's bright at the moment and forecast to be horrid shortly, I got the finished pics done.

Forgive the self-indulgence:

As always, many thanks to all for the encouragement and kind words along the way

Well done Andy. That’s a superb looking guitar, and I look forward to hearing what it sounds like after all that effort.

Incredible stuff, learning all the way, thank you for sharing your builds with us.

Andyjr1515 · October 2019

Thanks again for the nice comments, folks. Means a lot

Once again I have to say how great it looks. You've really managed to bring out the wood grain in a very tasteful way. I also like your soundhole treatment. It looks a very special guitar.

LastMantra · October 2019

Proper!

Andyjr1515 · October 2019

Thanks, folks

I finished the final setup tweaks today and sent Matt a text to say it's ready to pickup

Andyjr1515 · October 2019

I passed this over to Matt today.

I'm pleased and relieved in equal measure to report that he is very, very pleased with it.

He will do some proper videos of him playing it sometime in the future but, as a quick taster, I grabbed these quick mobile-phone clips of his first go with it, as they say, 'straight out of the box':

I'm well chuffed

andyp · October 2019

That sounds massive! Wow.

DartmoorHedgehog · October 2019

Wow - good isn't he!? (and the guitar of course

)

Yes - he is indeed. I think if ever you wanted your builds to be flattered, this is the way to do it

Had a text from him last night, "...Just sat with the (his *famous name* gigging guitar) and the Swift (my build) side by side - the Swift is so far ahead tonally & playability wise!..."

Aye - that'll do

BigMonka · October 2019

A beautiful guitar Andy and sounds fantastic (amazing playing clearly helps there too!).
I presume that he mainly uses open tunings for that type of playing - did you make any design adjustments to take that in to account, or to cater for the percussive bits in his playing?

Howdy, Stranger!
