Here are the sound clips of my recently completed Honduran Rosewood guitar, I don't believe the quality of these clips are quite as good as the ones of the Blackwood guitar I posted a few months ago, but it gives you an idea of the tonal differences between the guitars....and as I mentioned earlier these two guitars were as about as equal as I possibly could imagine building short of the different B&S woods....There were some slight bracing changes but the overall patterns, sizes, and shapes were very similar. If someone can figure out how to get the sound clips off of the other thread with the blackwood guitar and put them on this one for comparison sake it would be fun. http://media.putfile.com/03---Track-3-67 http://media.putfile.com/04---Track-4-69 http://media.putfile.com/05---Track-5-58-70 http://media.putfile.com/02---Track-2-39 http://media.putfile.com/01---Track-1-61-50 Cheers, Greg |

Thanks Heath....I appreciate you setting up the files, that certainly makes it easier to compare the guitars. Cheers, Greg |

Greg, Thanks for posting sounclips - although they can never replace the sound of an instrument live they do give I flavour. The guitar sounds great. The signature sound between the two guitars is not all that different to my ears, but it's hard really flicking back and forth between recordings. The Blackwood one sounds fuller as if it's further down its opening up curve but that could just be different recording set ups. Well done on both

Hi Dave, Thanks....yeah, the recordings didn't turn out perfect on the HRW, so I would say that the perception of the HRW needing to open up compared to the blackwood guitar might easily be heard, though it doesn't sound exactly that way in person. Anyway, thanks for the feedback it is appreciated. Greg |

I'd agree. That's a great sounding guitar. I particularly like the 3rd cut, which imho shows of the full range of the instrument. I'd be interested in your choice of tuning in each of the sound bits. Regards, |

Greg, They both sound great to me! But then, it's hard to really tell over the internet. Best I can tell, the blackwood sounds a little brighter, where the HRW seems to have a fuller or deeper tone about it. BTW, I really enjoyed Track-4-69 (HRW) I'm a big blues fan. Robert |

Hey Robert, I think your hearing things about right...I like track 4 as well. Thanks Michael, glad you enjoyed the clips, #3 is my favorite....you know I thought this would have been an interesting and fun listen, I'm surprised there wern't more comments on the differences/similarities....Oh well! Cheers, Greg |

Nice job Greg - I liked them both. The Blackwood sound like Koa, very nice Koa to me and Honduran Rosewood on the second guitar sounds, well, like Honduran Rosewood - BRW to me. Great job Greg! |

OK, I admit I'm a Luddite. Could someone tell me how to find and play the tracks posted here when I select a track? Thanks, |

Wow nice sounding guitars. Have to go with the Robert's evaluation above. I really like the Blackwood guitar on track 3. Can you tell us a little about the track? Title/music/tab? Joe |

Hi Joe, No tabs available, sorry.....I've listed the tunes and tuning for each below. Let's see here....I think this is correct Blackwood Guitar tracks Whiskey Before Breakfast - Drop D Blues Tune - Standard Tuning Wild Mt. Tyme - open D Rythym Guitar - Standard HRW Guitar- Same tunes played a little differently, but you can hear the similarities to figure out the song/tuning. Greg |

Nice sound and nice playing. Big clear bass and cutting highs. That was a dred sized guitar, correct? |

Hi Lex, Thanks....not a dread, it's is a 000-13 fretter, but I'm getting some really nice bass out of these bodies. Greg |
