| This wonderful instrument was built by Jim MacIntosh at
Jmac Guitars in Massachusetts. Jim has a great feel for wood and each individual piece is
properly thicknessed and the braces are tuned to match. The combination of Jim's techniques and the Honduran Rosewood give this guitar a musical tone like I have never heard. It's difficult to describe tone but I can say it's as clear as a good mahogany/adi guitar but with all the thickness and overtones of rosewood. The carbon fiber reinforced neck has a very solid feel to it. I have posted a few videos below so you can hear for yourself. There are a few more on my youtube page. |
