Here's my #3 guitar, a classical.

Eng Spruce, EIR, French Polish.  Home made purfling and binding.  Modified 1865 Torrez plan. 
This guitar wouldn't exist without the help from this forum's members.  Thanks much. 
It's hard to stomach that this is the WORST the guitar will sound.  It's already started opening up in the last couple weeks and I'm REALLY pleased so far!














Audio was done with an AT2020 large diaphram mic at about 2' above the instrument and a Shure SM81 Condenser about 10" off the lower bout.  Light reverb was added.

Carcassi Etude in Am

MertzNocturne.mp3

Paganini Romanza

Villa Lobos



Thanks for Checking this out,

Beautiful guitar, beautifully played. If I ever finish my first and if it sounds anywhere near that good Im going to have to find someone to do my sound clips or start practicing more.

Dave,

Lovely looking guitar and great playing. I don't know a lot about classical music or nylon strings - I played for about 3 years when I was 12 - but that sounds really nice to me.
