Members Etienne Rambert Posted August 29, 2007 Members Posted August 29, 2007 Don't know if anyone has posted this link before. Click on a guitar to hear it. To my ears, the Walnut B&S guitars are amazing.
Members larry50 Posted August 29, 2007 Members Posted August 29, 2007 Gulp, Wow. That guy is a master of open tunings. I agree that the walnut and maple guitars sounded amazing, although that sunburst slothead OM was unbelievable too (better be, for 5K). Not sure about the soundhole on the side though on some of the models.
Members spokenward Posted August 29, 2007 Members Posted August 29, 2007 I stumbled across the site of one the builders yesterday.You will find more on the guitars here:http://www.andrewwhiteguitars.com/They really have a very distinctive voice.[i'm Pat, I post mostly on Craig's forum. I have been lurking here while I look for a guitar. thanks! you've got a nice place here ]
Members jd-drafter Posted August 29, 2007 Members Posted August 29, 2007 after looking at some of those- i saw several with the angled fret's and bridges- am i correct that those are 'compensated' or is it tempered, - it just catches the eye after seeing so many 'normal' unit's i think i understand the concept of the idea- any applicable real world use of it?
Members min7b5 Posted August 30, 2007 Members Posted August 30, 2007 I keep seeing these youtube links with the Rode NT4 mic in front players. The tone is always great. These links have me lusting for the mic more than the guitars:)

These links have me lusting for the mic more than the guitars" Good point. I record w/an NT-1 in Vietnam. It's adequate on my Maple/Spruce. It sucks on the IR/Cedar & Mahogany guitars I've recorded with. BTW, I use that min7b5's quite a lot. It's an old movie music & Bossa transition chord. It never seems to fail every time I use it.
Members riffmeister Posted August 30, 2007 Members Posted August 30, 2007 yeah, I like the cedar/walnut guitar quite a lot. I like the guy playing it, too......he uses his fingers, not fingerpicks like the other guy in the demos. kinda whacky looking guitars, but they sure do sound nice! .

I came upon Andrew White's website when I saw his ad in A.G.'s builder/luthier 2007 issue, I've been drooling every since. In his gallery of pics checkout the C model with the Madagascar rosewood back and sides. TrinaP.S. Here's a video interview with Mr. White. Welcome Pat. Really nice folks around here, I hope you hang around. http://www.wchstv.com/traveling/2006/twv060316.shtml
Members Cripes Posted August 30, 2007 Members Posted August 30, 2007 Cedar over anything has been appealing to me more than any other combination. I have cedar/spruce over EIR guitars and I just find myself holding the cedar 90% of the time. Both are very nice guitars. Maybe my ear is looking to hear more woodwind and less brass tones these days. That cedar/walnut produced a very soothing sound.
Members Etienne Rambert Posted August 30, 2007 Author Members Posted August 30, 2007 My favorite acoustic right now is an IR/Cedar combination. Problem is - I am not able to capture the sound I hear playing it, when I record it using a RODE NT-1A mic. The Maple dread I own records true every time. I think I need two mic's to record the IR/Cedar. I could probably record the Maple with a $15 Radio Shack mic, and it would still sound true.

I think I need two mic's to record the IR/Cedar. I could probably record the Maple with a $15 Radio Shack mic, and it would still sound true. This has been a problem discussed in the past - I remember contributing to the frustration - and it would appear that a couple smaller mics not as affected by the large movement of air from a cedar soundboard are more suitable. I've yet to try it because of a recent wipe-out of my PC studio but I'm going to experiment when my GASL comes up a notch or two.
