Recordings Are Done!

[guitaradoptions]

I did my best to get as many as I could this time around. More will be added later.
The same tune is played on each guitar for comparison purposes. No EQ was added at all!
Each song starts out finger-style, and then switches to flat-picking.
Let me know what you folks think!

Hey Dave,

What did you do with the LV-10 cedar/walnut? I can't find it anymore - I thought you would save that one for me...

[mikerides]

I like the SD-50.

Awesome!  Excellent job!  Great sounding clips that really show the subtle differences between woods and body shapes well.  I'm sure these will be very useful to a lot of people looking to buy a new guitar  :D

Awesome dave well done.  You must have been tired after all that.

hey dave

what did you use for recording the guitars?
i love the LV-09.. was that w/electronics?

wish you could have recording the LV-03R

[guitaradoptions]

None of the guitars had electronics. There were two Mic's set up and recorded through a board and direct onto a Mac.

Awesome dave well done.  You must have been tired after all that.

Nice job Dave. Hearing the differences between the three D-03 guitars is great, then hearing the Breedlove DM right after, the DM sounds best of those to me.

Thanks Dave!
Can't wait to get home and have a listen to that H13.  I have dreams about that guitar.

Thanks Dave! It's so much easier to hear the differences in the tone woods this way. I seem to have a harder time comparing guitars when I have to play them.  I get to distracted or something.  :D   Good work!

[grace]

That was great Dave.  Thanks

[Miata13]

Great for lunch Dave!  As they say, "It's all good" !
Am sure those clips will have many listeners..heck, I've listened to most several times already....

[AUGuy21]

Wow. I love the LS-30 Classical. I got chills listening to that. I wonder if I could get the tab from Rich. I was amazing.

[Adam]

What an excellent resource! It is hard for me to tell some differences as well in-shop. Hopefully an L-03 and L-03R might be added in the future? In any case, thanks!

[D4ve]

Dave that was pretty cool
Thanks for doing that.
I loved the D03MT
the SD60 too
:)

Is there one guitar, hopefully a Larrivee, that really made him go, WOW!!!  I listened to a bunch of the recordings but for me, that SD50 sounded awesome!!!

[jimmyd]

Thank you. So many nice sounding instruments and a very consistent job of playing them. The music was very enjoyable just to listen to. I was ready to call the 00050 my favorite until I listened to the Santa Cruz F. That is just about the richest sounding mahogany I've ever heard. You be sneaky me man. Get them sounds all in my head. Now I gotta dream about that Cruz F along with the 000  :)  That was a very nice thing to do for the forum.

[poki]

Thanks Dave, it would be difficult to pic my favorite since they all sound great, including the LS-30

[tiffer]

Great job Dave.  Love the LV-09QM or the OOO-50, would be hard pressed between the two.
