Sexauer FT-0 in 2009
(Show Guitar, #1790509)
Sinker Redwood over Big Leaf Maple w/Bloodwod binding, Oil
Varnish.
I took some risks with this one. I have always been
disappointed with Maple flat-tops as they sound boxy to me, plenty of
mid-range but failing to produce both focused bass and sparkling
treble. And I have never really liked any Redwood guitars I've heard as
they are all at the ends, impressive bass and plenty of treble (too
much!) but utterly failing to impress me with warmth or friendliness.
Opposites attract, so they say, so I thought I'd give it a try. If you
can make it to Montreal or Healdsburg this year, tell me what you think
of this one!
