Brand new video.  Looks like his C-10 is sounding better than ever!

There is something that looks so proportionally prefect about a 12-fret body connection. And while I don't like cutaway instruments, I do like the Venetian style cutaway.

Agreed. I've always thought 12 fret designs look "correct". I heard Richard Hoover of Santa Cruz put it into perspective when he said that, when Martin created the 14 fret designs, they just squashed the upper bout. After looking at it that way, I can't un-see it.

I'm the same way about the cutaway. While the venetian style reportedly has small tonal benefits, the C looks so classy.

It also makes sense that you would want the bridge to be placed as close to the middle of the soundboard as possible.  The bridge on 14 fretters always looks so far down at the bottom.

The shirt's fine. You'd think he could afford new pants though.   :whistling:

I was thinking I could play that first piece ... until about the five minute mark.
