Of all your guitars, this Daniel Friedrich sounds the most like you, Evan. The guitar has a classic, sweet, open and mysterious sound. Not the loudest guitar (as are modern double tops), but responsive and absolutely lovely. What it lacks in huge volume, it clearly makes up for in balance and rich, traditional sound. This guitar, along with your playing, draws the listener in. Gorgeous instrument! I only wish I could afford to buy it!
Thank you, Evan, for the new video with the beautiful old Daniel Friederich. For me this noble instrument sounds most beautiful on your recordings of “Bloomed” and “Lágrima” !!! 💛Rich in timbre and charming - but that is of course completely personal... Thank you for sharing and musical greetings from distant Germany. 👍😊👋👋👋
I have a 1970 Friederich Spruce guitar. I agree with everything in Evans comments. This is a lively, beautiful sounding, easy to play, very comfortable guitar that just "sings". (My 1958 Velasquez is very similar). HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Thank you very much!! These are special guitars. Although I've played quite a few now, it's quite amazing how each one sounds unique, but still sounds like a Friederich. A beautiful experience.
Fantastic guitar - again! I would really like to know what strings you use. Do you have a go-to string set, or is each guitar 'dressed' individually? Normal tension or perhaps high? I have quite the guitar collection myself (not as extensive as yours, though not bad either), and I spend a lot of time selecting the strings that suit every individual guitar the very best. I use Knobloch, Dogal, Savarez, Optima and Galli the most, but I am always on the lookout for even more inspiration, if you would care to share..! Lovely videos, you make, btw.! Extremely good guitars, good recording technique, and fantastic playing. I watch your videos alot (and perhaps I salivate a bit, even if I am not allowed to buy any more guitars). Soundwise, my favorite is still the Hauser III from 2015. I really wish I could afford it...-)
In this video I was using DAddario EJ45ff, and nylon ej45 1st string. This is my "standard". Some guitars however, reject certain aspects of certain sets of strings. For instance, in the scenario I have a guitar that is more than 650mm scale, the carbon trebles that D'Addario produces don't work for me. A bit too tight. In that case, I use Knobloch carbons usually (ALWAYS a nylon first string). This is however a rare scenario. On some instruments, like the 1994 Friederich I had, I thought Savarez basses sounded better, so I mostly used those. But my standard, go-to is D'Addario EJ45ff with nylon 1st string. Some of this is just so I have something to go-off of. It's also to prevent me from driving myself crazy over minuscule differences between sets of strings. Whats much more important is the consistency, and D'Addario does that better than anyone else. Hope that helps!

Daniel Friederich's guitar tone is one of my favorites. He was truly a genius of luthiery. beautiful video as usual.
The tone on this guitar is absolutely heart melting

Saturday or Sunday morning will be great 🤩, but i’m in east europe time so anyway 😄
I would like to know which strings are used for each presentation. That would help a lot for some people.
You got it! This was DAddario EJ45ff, and nylon ej45 1st string.
