06 Jan 10 NAMM Show in L.A
This coming year is very exciting. A lot of projects will come up:
- from a trio with world guitar stars Ricardo Cobo and Cem Duruoz – concert at the Carnegie Hall announced soon
- to new DVD’s and recording…
But, for now, join me at the NAMM Show in L.A where I will present my new guitar, Alhambra, of course! A completely crossover model, entirely handmade in Spain with the highest quality wood. A narrower neck (50mm instead of 52mm) gives this guitar an incredible comfort whether I play with fingers or pick, Indian Rosewood back and sides, Canadian Spruce top for clarity and definition and the wonderful Fishman Prefix-ProBlend that combines a condenser mic inside of the guitar and an under saddle pick up system. This miniature preamp shares similar performance specs as the Prefix Stereo Blender, on a smaller bezel that occupies 1/3 less space on the guitar!
Featured for the Pro Blend is the acclaimed Acoustic Matrix under-saddle pickup. It delivers a clear, articulate sound with emphasis on string definition and attack.
To compliment and contrast this pickup, a miniature electret microphone(mounted to the underside of the preamp chassis) captures the guitar’s elusive natural ambiance and sound chamber resonance. Blend the pickup and Microphone together for a powerful and cohesive acoustic guitar tone that is deeper and more “filled out”,than the sound of either the microphone or pickup alone.
The Prefix Pro Blend preamp module incorporates a unique flip-top battery compartment for easy access.
Now I got a guitar that sounds great when I just play acoustic and fabulous when I plug it into the P.A.
We are working on a Cedar Top Model that will be ready within a few months and with a simple, however, beautiful design. And a “Texas Touch” version for the summer with turquoise inlays and other surprises!
