Another good demo of a well set up sound system and some rather tasty acoustic guitar sounds and playing. :thumbsup:

Another example too of how an acoustic guitar doesn't need a solid top to make good sounds. It's a very popular guitar and if anyone can make it sound like this I can see why! Though I have a feeling that you could make any guitar sound good!

I envy you the fact that your son has gone in for playing music too - being able to play music together is great.

Oh my god - I was trying to record something (speakers turned open) when I opend the link, and I'm really blown away by this sound.
Even with my cheap PC speakers it sounds as if you're setting next to me. Plus the right notes at the right places. Wonderful. :pray:

Got to agree on the wood part VB. Even accoustic this Guitar sounds amazing, nice and warm. Playing is smooth to.
You make your guitar sound as good. No doubt about that !

My son is playing ever since his early teens. He moved into an appartment of his own after 4 years of living in a single rented room, so now we have the option to sit together here or there :)

How did I miss this thread?

You play good and sound of the guitar is warm and round. Penetrating without being intrusive. A good guitar, simply.
