My new Geet

kholmes

Here is my new Steel string acoustic guitar.
I wanted a wider neck to accomodate my fat fingers, I liked the un-rounded corners of the bottom bout, which I thought reminiscent of a bull's horns, so i've called it the Nguni guitar.! The rosette is african beads in the pattern of the South African flag, the scratch plate is Nguni hide as are the fretboard dots. The top is Alaskan Sitka Spruce, the back and sides are African Rosewood, the neck Honduras Mahogany and the fretboard is Emboia. Please let me have your comments,good and bad, - we can only learn from other's opinions. That is if the stupid pictures are posted from that useless frikkin' photobucket website! Thanks.

☹ I can't see any picture.

Sounds an interesting guitar though? By whom is it made?

Interesting design, what was your thinking when designing it?

That is a very different kind of look! Any specific inspirations?

That certainly is an interesting design. And the finished product looks mighty fine!

The guitar is brand new so needs some time to "settle-in". But so far the huge volume body gives it massive power and a sustain that you would not believe possible from an acoustic. I would like a sharper/crisp note like you get from a Martin carbon-fibre as you strike the note, (at this time, my guitar is a little soft) but that sustain is almost like playing a piano with the loud peddle held down throughout. Picking with good fingernails of course, helps tremendously to achieve that sharp, first, note.
