[@rosewoodsteel6656]

Wow! That's one sweet sounding instrument.

The voice and tone balance of this guitar are truly remarkable. You deserve to keep it for yourself!

You are the best!

[@newffee]

That thing is clear! What a cannon. sounds awesome.

[@jbrobertson2758]

Beautiful build, awesome full sound, and some great playing, too.

[@adriansummers3462]

You make the best sounding steel string guitars that I have been able to find on KZbin. Keep it going.

[@vanrozay8871]

Your guitars ring like no others I've heard. Almost magical.

[@GuttlinGuitars]

impressive build, sounds fantastic

[@toddcwalker4208]

Always a good picker, that bluegrass'y thing you did at the end was killer.

[@scottfishkind5335]

I love your passion and the incredible instruments you build! I could probably never afford one but you deserve whatever you charge because they are Stradivarius equivalents for guitars! Also I really enjoy your playing, I graduated from Berklee in 1981 and always love seeing Berklee alum doing great things!!

Your "preachiness" is just your high standard of craftsmanship talking. Makes all the sense in the world to those who understand. And yes: the one you're working on is always "the one," as it must be. As a writer who tweaks and rewrites, you're talking my language.

[@kaushalsuvarna5156]

BTW all the best for your show

Always love your videos 😍 Is this a tad brighter than your general stuff?

[@BlaisPianoGuitars]

Wow! Sounds as good if not better than any guitar I've heard.

[@RickyPLopezMusic]

That sounds absolutely incredible. Any sound effects or EQ being used or is it just raw microphone?

[@stever3206]

Hi Ben - May I / we ask the strings you have on this one; and are they standard for all if your guitars? Thanks. SR

[@wilbornguitars2923]

@@stever3206 sure- I set up all my guitars with D’addario 53-12 phosphor bronze unless otherwise directed.

Ever played flatwounds? That squeek is gone with flatwounds.

[@wilbornguitars2923]

@@voornaam3191 the squeek is gone, but so is a lot of harmonic content. Not a bad sound, but not what I’m aiming for. There are some semi-flattened steel strings that are a nice compromise, tho.
