Only a couple entries, I assume because its been the xmas period and everyone has been busy with family things and not finishing up guitars.
Either way, my opinion both these 8 strings are brilliant.
CROW: Even though I'm not a big fan of multiscale guitars, this one looks classy. I love black quilts and the simplicity of it just works so well. Nothing is overdone, yet theres a lot of skilled craftmanship and detailed planning needed to pull it off. Great wood combos, great carve. Overall great guitar with a vibe that reminds me a lot of the guitars coming from Europe these days. If I had to pick one this I disslike it'd be the headstock shape, but I know this sort of styling is popular at the moment so don't listen to me. I get told I'm still stuck in the 80's!
CURTISA: Very nice looking guitar. The Vic Ash body is gutsy as its a shitty timber to work with. Chips out easy, splits easy, massive grain to try fill, its just a horrible timber, so hat off for using it. Every time I touch the stuff I say "never again"!! I've been wanting to work with Myrtle for quite a while now and your display here is only feeding the fire. The top looks excellent. The whole build looks very clean and has a ibanez kind of vibe, but I like this and hate ibanez! Great neutral color combos. Its passive in contrast but not enough to be boring. It's not in your face, its restrained. If I had to pick something I dissliked, I'd have to say the headstock. Not my tastes, but same as I said to Crow, don't listen to me!
