New, from Michigan
« on: May 29, 2019, 12:40:42 PM »
Hi Folks - Thought I'd check in and introduce myself.  Been playing for decades but you'd never know it from listening to me.  (sigh)

I own a 2009 816ce, and I just picked up a brand new 414ce Limited Edition Black Limba.  It's a fabulous guitar.  I also own a Godin A6 Ultra Koa, and an old Martin Shenandoah HD-2832.  Looking forward to being a participating member of the community.

Here are a few pics of the 414:

Wow, that black limba looks spectacular! How does it sound, in comparison to other tonewoods?

Welcome, I'm 60 miles south of the bridge.  :)

It sounds great - definitely has a punch to it, a bit bright, but it's brand new. It plays great and the v-class bracing lives up to its marketing regarding intonation.

Welcome and congrats on the new addition. Black limba, as I understand it, is a type of rosewood with similar tonal properties to EIR. It sure is a beauty! Hope you enjoy your stay with us....
