Soooooo, my pink ivory/ African Blackwood guitar is due end of Feb...and I've already commissioned another build..it official I LOVE doing that....I'm fed up of telling lies to myself like..." I'm thinning the herd"..... And other cliches..the fact is I just love the arrival of a new guitar made by a builder who loves building....there I've said it.
i have approached an Italian luthier, after seeing his guitars both on his website, and demonstrated on you tube by a forum member on this very forum ( me&myguitar)....the first thing that grabbed my attention was how incredibly elegant they looked.
i contacted the luthier (Lukas Milani) with a very specific remit, something I've tried unsuccessfully with other builders.
I DON'T want a a ' fingerstyle guitar'
i DON'T want a ' sing and strum guitar'
..like instruments like flute, sax, brass, violin, sitar, sarod...the list goes on....
I WANT a guitar that is designed to produce perfect SINGLE NOTES....
i talked to him about, the initial attack of a single note, the sustain, the decay, overtones, sweetness, headroom, DYNMIC RANGE....and he got back to me and took me seriously...I sent him some recordings of mine with my multi string guitar, and told him my likes and dislikes about it...
I knew I'd picked the right guy when he said that he would listen to the CDs to get 'inspiration'....but he also wanted me to name the guitar to help him with the creative process/inspiration.
the guitar has been named " Goddess" with a picture sent to him of Goddess Durga (from Hinduism)... Along with an explanation of the meanings of the symbolism present in her depictions.....a lot to do with the forces of light and darkness.Last week he had a ' Eureka' moment, and he knew the concepts and aesthetic he would use..Like I said...I love working with people like this...a true first.Got the first pics thru today of the first stages of the build...and I'm officially excited.....The deposit was sent last week....it's all on top..it really is happening.
i don't know how to post a build thread on here...pity.
