Mi Guitarra Filipina

Mi Guitarra Filipina

Postby olenaval » Mon Apr 24, 2006 4:50 am

Hi everyone! I finally got my long-awaited, hand-made concert guitar! It sounds like it has a built-in microphone!!! Brilliant! It's got a Cedar soundboard, Indian Rosewood sides and body, Mahogany neck, natural sheen, Schaller mechanism - Hauser model... And it came with the case, which was my dilemna! Most of all, not expensive. Picture is below if anybody cares to see...

Hear it? That means play it? I haven't gotten over looking at it, hav. Kidding aside, as soon as I figure out how to make a good quality mp3 or sound file with the least electronic processing.

Now, I am wondering about insurance... My kids want their own guitars, now, too. Didn't realize the consequences in the fine print...

The label, by the way, was my contribution to the making of the guitar...In spanish... "consuelo de bobo"

i have a nice Spruce model by Bebbot Alegre, but maybe i'll try a Derecho Cedar as my next guitar (when i get enough $$$ :roll: )... and then work my way through all Filipino luthiers. :D

btw, i'm just gonna move this thread to the luthier section... :D

Thanks, again, Trystramys... Next one I have will be a Brazilian Rosewood backed one. I hear from Tabo, it's even better. Have you ever heard of the defunct Guitar Masters along EDSA? My brother-in-law has one and now wants Tabo to restore it. I am not sure if it is even worth it.
