So what happens when a guitarist has GAS.
All you knob turners and spaghetti weavers. Take a look at this.
I always wanted a Classy Classical guitar.

Nice. Something like that should really lend itself to your finger style of playing!

My thoughts exactly. I have always been jealous of those melodic Mexican leads but I have never had a decent classical to play them. The demo in the link does sound a lot like my style or at least that technique. I figure this to be the last guitar I buy. In fact i need to unload a few but I don't want to take a bath selling them. The guitar won't be here for a week yet. Going to be hard to wait.
Guess what ya box geeks, no pickup!

Looks like it’s made from blood.
*drunk a bit innit*
So question for you
What makes this so special? *edit .., spicy shit.
And I want a detailed answer… I know you can!
Us modular gearheads and guiter guys aren’t so different!
Plus I like hearing from people that are passionate about what they do… and that’s you, you’re my ‘go to’ guy when it comes to ambient guitar. Fuck. You tap into depths I don’t think most people(musicians) experience (emotionally)

I'm as much a knob-turner as I am a guitarist or drummer: ie, a total beginner who doesn't practice anywhere near enough.

The payment went through so shipping today from Atlanta.
Yea, Ivan it is blood red. That is Cocobola wood a sub for Brazilian Rosewood. There is a lot more to this guitar than what you see. The bracing is hand carved and tuned to a specific tone. It has a system of lament wood in the body designed to reflect tone back to the red cedar top. Think of it as blocking off corners in a recording studio to dampen unwanted reflections. The design of the guitar is from a Spaniard named Rodriquez. This one is made by a guy named Alejandro I Cervantes, a famous luthier in his own right. I am learning a lot about classical guitars. They are a lot like wine in that there are lines of lineages, techniques and vintages that go into the making of a guitar. They are not your average off the wall Martin.
Hopefully by the weekend I will be playing this beauty.
