Jeff King, one of the Berkshire's premier musicians did some recording on a guitar that John built for a while back. Here is an demo sample of Jeff playing his guitar. It is an AS model with an Adirondack Spruce Top, Black Acacia back and sides.
Jeff also came by one day and we had another AS model getting ready final checkout.
We stuck a mic in front of Jeff doing a riff on an Englemann/Brazilian AS.
Another clip was recorded on a Jumbo Series Guitar (Model JS-C.) This composition, The Transfiguration, was written and recorded by David Mitchell and recently released on the The 13thfret CD, Luthiers and Players. This CD features players and builders that visit the 13thfret.com Acoustic Guitar Forum. Here is an audio sample of Dave's song, The Transfiguration
One afternoon a couple years ago Bill W stopped by. We stuck a mic in front of him. Here is another one of John's Auditorium Series (AS) Guitars. The model recorded here has a Sitka Spruce Top, Ziricote back & sides and was set-up with light strings. Here is an audio sample of Bill pickin' on an Osthoff AS Model
This is a one of a bunch of clips that was sent to John by Andrew Podolowski. Here is a part of a bluesy clip in DADGAD where Drew is playing his Italian Spruce/Brazilian 000.
