Two Guitars Complete - See Them At The GFA

The two guitars that I'll be taking to the GFA convention in June are now complete. Here's a little introduction to the instruments. If you'll be at the convention too, don't hesitate to introduce yourself and try out the guitars. I'd like to hear what you think.

The audio samples were recorded in my workshop with an Olympus LS-10 on the first day the guitars were strung up. Strings on both are D'Addario normal tension composites (EJ-45C). The Brouwer samples were EQ'd a tad to compensate for the microphones' low bass response and hot high end.  the Zamboni samples weren't EQ'd at all.
