Furch Yellow Series Baritone Acoustic Guitar Cedar and Indian Rosewood
I've had this great baritone for several years now but just barely got around to doing a video for it. This one is a few years old and it's a Furch Yellow Series Baritone in Cedar and Indian Rosewood. Its a wonderful song writing tool!

1953 Martin D-28 Red Spruce and Brazilian Rosewood
มุมมอง 3K14 วันที่ผ่านมา
Every once in a while I play a guitar that just shocks me, this one has done that, I didn't know Martin built anything in the 50s that could hold its own with the best 1930s D-28s I've played but this 53 has done just that. This one is a rare bird in that it has a Red Spruce or Adirondack Spruce top and Brazilian Rosewood. Many of the 1953 models are known to have Engelmann Spruce tops but this...

Thought I'd share the tone on this 1954 Gibson J-185. Just a stellar and beautiful example of what Gibson was building in the mid 50s.

I've been back to working night shifts at work for the first time in many years and early in my marriage I used to sing this song jokingly to my wife when I worked them. I thought I'd post it because the guitar is sounding incredible. It has a much better voice than I do!
Roy McAlister Jumbo Cedar and Indian Rosewood
มุมมอง 3432 หลายเดือนก่อน
This one is a 2001 McAlister David Crosby Signature model Jumbo. Roy's jumbo's were a bit smaller than 17" wide but still had nice larger feel, this one is incredibly versatile for a larger body guitar with a very fast and intimate response for fingerstyle playing but yet a big full put together chord sound for strumming and flat picking. Really special guitar!!

Mark Gaiero Modified Dreadnought Mod D

This beautiful guitar is a brand new 2024 Gaiero Mod D, it's the first Mod D that Mark made under the Gaiero brand. He had made several Somogyi Mod D guitars while doing his apprenticeship with Ervin. This one is very old Carpathian Spruce over Ziricote. The guitar is one of the best fingerstyle guitars I've ever played! Its just amazingly responsive and powerful with very thick and rich tone.

I was personally struck by the sound of the first guitar which really sounded like a piano!!! The second one sounds good but I prefer the first one you played!! so the first one was in Sitka Spruce, or in Adirondack??? Thank you...

    Hey Bobby thanks for all your wonderful work documenting these guitars. So helpful when shopping for a guitar you would need a plane and a hotel to demo. Froggy loves Koa it seams. What’s your impression of their Koa use maybe compared to this Mahogany K? Or are we apples and Oranges? Have you played many of their Koa offerings? I don’t care about the looks it’s just that Koa seems more available than Mahogany.
