For those who might be interested, I’ve posted a sound clip of my recent Torres
FE 14 “Cardboard” guitar replica on my website. It’s a bit of “Lagrima” (F. Tarrega) played by upstate NY guitarist Sten Isachsen.

Beautiful David. I think you've proved Torres point for him.

That sounded way better than I expected. Thank you David for sharing that experiment and the wonderful result.

Outstanding, David. You have, indeed, proved Torres' point. Not good for the Zoot vendors! :D

Hi David,

Thanks for sharing the clip - Astonishing! Never expected such a guitar could sound so great. Also, enjoyed the other photos of your work. Many, many congratulations.

Best wishes,
Max

Beautiful! I probably won't make a cardboard guitar, I'll be looking for more tonewoods that tap like cardboard.
