Hi all, Here are some pics of my Casimi custom om build in progress. African blackwood back and sides and German spruce top.

Casimi acoustic guitar custom build

Big-G

Wow! Such a clear and well voiced guitar! Every note just rang true, and came through strong! Stunning!

If I ever win the lottery (which I don't do) I would definitely treat myself to one of these! I think they have become my favourite acoustic now, over my previous favourite Lowden, although I'd more than happily have either! Hehe!

You must be very chuft with your new 'toy'. Enjoy her!

Regards
G!

That does sound great! Is that the camera mic?

...and great playing too, BTW. ?

Sounds awesome! And some very nice playing!

I think it was a good song to use as well, really enjoyed to clip.

Congrats!

Have a look at their guitar building course man. I am building myself an African Blackwood guitar very similar to this one. Just a slightly different cutaway and a full rosette. Oh, and mine has a 12th fret neck Join, where Tinus' has a 14th fret join and 24 frets. (it is quite a shred monster for an acoustic ?)

But seriously G, building this guitar is the most fulfilling endeavour I have ever undertaken. I can not wait for saturday afternoons. Each and every week I get excited to go into the workshop and make this thing come to life.
Plus, Matthias and Matthew wont let you build anything less than a superb guitar. One course attendee just completed his guitar. An exact replica of the casimi custom OM, with the hollow headstock and a gorgeous on-lay. Now, I am not saying I have the money, but had I ordered a 7000USD custom acoustic guitar, and this cocobolo beauty arrived in the mail, I'd have been thrilled.
