Interesting for a few reasons....a) he's using .013s not because he's a macho poseur, but because he's playing a great, well set up guitar and he's playing it like it's an acoustic guitar and they give him great tone and projection b) these are the kind of settings where things like picks make a big difference and you totally see the value in investing in really good ones c) great example of a player really pulling the best out of a guitar with technique
Beauregard maple B&S guitar. Looks beautiful but sounds like a fucking choir!
I can't help about the shape I'm in, I can't sing I ain't pretty and my legs are thin
But don't ask me what I think of you, I might not give the answer that you want me to
I *do* really like the Lowden/Avalon/etc sound - that mass of overtones over a strong fundamental (or whatever it is that achieves that sound) but mostly when payed more traditionally.
I'm really going to enjoy this thread for seeing and hearing new things though - my eyes may be opened!

No worries mate. It's only a video. I know some people get funny and all that, but life is too short...
This is probably a more 'traditionally' styled piece compared to what he normally plays, but I do understand that his style is a bit niche. Contemporary acoustic stuff seems to be pretty polarising. I got really into it for a while, but now less so. There's loads of people doing it, but I've literally only seen 3 or 4 players that can make it sound right. I am not one of those people! Yet
I'm a Lowden player, and love plenty of overtones. I guess we agree there. I think this guitar has a nice balance. I understand what you say about the mids, but my own guitar is mahogany, so I am used to that scooped tone.
Thanks for creating the thread. It's a great idea, and it's nice to hear some different makers and players / styles.
Try this one...
They are South African makers - Casimi.
I really like their styling, and they don't sound too shabby either.

Came for the guitar - stayed for the songs - she's a great singer/player/songwriter - thanks
