I played the guitar for the first time today and it is amazing! Sounds great, and is so so much easier to play than my Conde Atocha. Bar chords, passages I was having difficulty with, even tremolos are so much easier to play! 

Thank you for making this amazing guitar!

I could tell it would have been great.... I let him know and he made me another video, which was nice but not as nice as the other would have been. (Those are on the home page of this website.) Then this week, a friend let me know that he had some videos from that class and I am happy to present them here.

"Hi, Ethan, just want to thank you for this negra and putting up with my quirky unorthodox requests.  The neck is just what I wanted low relief with 2.1 and 1.9 mm action and ample bridge saddle exposed above the bridge.  It really feels and plays well.  Love the rosette.  I will certainly grow on this guitar.  The sound is more round than the blanca which is to be expected.  I'm very satisfied.  Thanks, Robert"
