I finished stringing up my 12th instrument a 00 sized cutaway with arm bevel. I will post a sound clip before the weekend is up. The guitar sounds pretty good. I still need to do a bit of setup work but I wanted it to sit for a couple of days. If you have not followed the build I have a build thread at viewtopic.php?f=48&t=6333.
Thanks for looking and also thanks for all of the positive comment throughout the build of this guitar.
Western Red Cedar Top
Koa Back and Sides

Finally a video of it being play. This is a work buddy of mine. He has asked me to build a guitar so I had over to try this one. He has played all of the others as well. This was recorded with my little point and shoot so the audio loses a little. I was really happy with the guitar's sound.

Thanks,
Angel is a test manager that I work with. Somehow the tech world is littered with good musicians. He was a heavy metal and flamenco player in his youth when he did study and play guitar seriously. He seems to be able to play nearly any style. In this case I asked him to play some blues progressions.
I am not a real metal fan, but when he plays them on an acoustic, I am amazed at how good it sounds; well structured and innovative chord progressions and great melodic lines.
