Wow! Gorgeous lush sound out of a stunningly small body! I wanted to say that Rye broke all the rules of acoustic guitar construction with this build, but I would have to say instead that he just wrote a whole new set of rules.
Ahh--Sat morning mesmerization. Thanks again. Hmm---He's right! about the weight. That is Piano engineering! This little guitar seems to prove that. Boy the traditionalists must be out ridiculing again, LOL. Too many listen with eyes rather than ears. The bridge from what I see seems to be in the center longitudinally which will kill sustain. Other than that, it does sound good. Light, light feather weight construction dampens energy----no kick back to the SB. BlaisGuitars.---Piano Tops.
Did you hear the sustain when Matt played that guitar? Go to 12:10 on the video. Maybe this is not enough sustain for you, however, May I suggest that the mic will not transfer the full amount of sustain via TH-cam?
@@hampshirepiano6383 Not sure but I am going to see Matt over at Eddie's soon and if that guitar is not sold I'll ask him to let me play it. He uses Sennheiser mics but unless Alejandro was slowly increasing the volume on that mic as the sustain continued (I doubt it) then what they could hear up close would be far more than what came across after video editing and the limitations of TH-cam. I too am interested in the length of the sustain and will probably take my Froggy Bottom F14 in for comparison. When I bought my first D28 in 1976 I took a stopwatch to every store and after playing one for a while I would hit the harmonics on the 12th fret and time it. The D28 that I eventually bought clocked at 53 seconds, a full ten seconds longer than any of the other dozen or so models that I had played.
Beautiful tone to the guitar. Great depth of tone for a parlour guitar.

That would be my holy grail guitar if I could afford one , 🔥
quite lovely .. .
lovely
Very nice tone and interesting smaller guitar punches well above what you would expect
Hopefully Matt will do a demo of that incoming Bourgeois soloist in Sinker red wood and Ziricote!
$12000. Chump change.
