"Dry and Woody"...While I've never played a Lowden, I am humbled and flattered at such an assessment. I have to admit that I am personally pleased with the way this one turned out. I have a similar model in the works with Lutz/Cuban Mahogany. I'm very anxious to hear the differences.
Joe seems to have all of the verbal descriptions for guitar sounds and I learned a lot from his vast experience from playing, recording and listening to guitars. I can't remember how he characterized the sound of the parlor guitar after he played the SJ, but remember it was at least charitable!
Hesh...no golf but I'm chomping at the bit for the first warm days! It doesn't matter what color the balls are...when they're cold it's no fun to play!
Remember...it was your badgering that spurred me to take on that squirrley wood sooner than I felt I was qualified. I just got lucky...but it was you who encouraged me to begin thinking of loftier goals.
