Hi everyone
My guitar arrived this morning MM Blues 12 fret.
First off, thankyou Michael, I am seriously impressed with this guitar it is absolutely stunning. As soon as it arrived I tuned it up and started playing. I was immediately taken by the richness and depth of the sound even my wife commented on how rich the sound was, usually she just shrugs when I play a new instrument and says "it just sounds the same as your others". I am primarily a banjo player so I tuned it to open d which works really well for banjo tunes, I played some old three finger songs on it, John Henry sounded particularly good, by my playing standards it did anyway. Something I was worried about when I purchased was the neck width, it is wider than what I'm used to, playing either ibanez guitars or banjos, but as soon as I played it the neck felt right and comfortable, almost a warm used feel. Would definitely tell anyone that was worried about this to not worry too much, it feels, to me anyway, just right. The buld quality is excellent, everything tight and no rattles or strange noises. Tbh I didn't know quite what to expect sound wise, I think I expected something more tinny and metallic sounding, but it's not, it's a really rich beautiful clear sound that well, resonates. The guitar arrived very well packaged and was safe inside the box and inside was also a Diamond bottleneck which is fantastic, I'd spoken to Ian previously about ordering one in anticipation and he told me to hold off because I'd get one with the guitar, what a good bloke. I'll be ordering more slides from Ian in different lengths etc once I've had some more time with this one. All in all I'm extremely satisfied, great sound, professional solid build quality, beautiful instrument.
Thankyou again
Dave.
I'd add a picture but I'm not sure how to.
