That means I can play my compositions live, without bringing the guitars I used, synths or a computer...in theory at least. It does a lot more stuff too. But I'm basically interested in the synth & the audio player. My coolest music purchase this year - by far. This thing is AMAZING! Marcellis, is that you?

  8. I've lived in California all my life and never had to humidify a guitar. Maybe if you live in desert regions, but I've never had an issue. Ditto.
  9. This very pleasant and informative thread, which has given me much Binh GAS, seems to have gone a bit askew. :poke:

Thanks, when you do see him, let me know, and tell him I'm very interested in having him build a Marcellis-type archtop for me (I would be willing to pre=pay if necessary or pay a deposit), unless you can suggest something else. I think I might be willing to take a risk on shipping if he can work it out, although, after seeing your pictures and talking to other people, I am sort of dying to visit Vietnam. I suspect there is no way to contact him directly, or would that be a waste of my time?

The thing is, that arch-top kills anything on the market in its price or even a lot higher. It's big. It's deep. It has more acoustic volume with .10's than the Godin model has with .12's. And since I can put .10's on it, the action is a dream. It's really a rare bird. I had a lawyer from LA & his wife come visit me a couple of months ago. They got an incredibly cheap tour price. And they put him up in a five-star hotel. The whole thing was around $1200 apiece, counting airfare. That's amazing. What would be the shipping charges, on average, to the USA? Does he ship? Kind of hard to hear the guitar on the track.
