There are photos of a new Michael Thames guitar, and an mp3 here:

Gorgeous looking guitar, and for a new spruce guitar being played by a
young (early 20's?) student player the sound is quite appealing.

Hum, it seems like all the best young players want an MT guitar these
days.

Thanks for the plug Andrew. Chris is a fine player, ( gorgeous tone)
and studies with Stanley. He also has a fine guitar blog.
http://classicalguitar.ning.com/

So far I haven't joined, I'm afraid I might get kicked off.

BTW, that's a cedar guitar, not spruce, although I take that as a
complement that you thought it was spruce. My philosophy is this; a
good cedar guitar should sound like spruce, and a good spruce guitar
should sound like cedar, and fat bottom girls make this rockin world
go round.

Never thought of it that way, but yes, I think you are right Tommy.

That's a sweet looking and gorgeously sounding guitar! Andrew, you
should be banned from RMCG for 3 days for posting such temptation. I'm
getting dehydrated just by my old drooling!!!

And for the record, my wife loves cedar.
Cheers,

John

Ha, I thought it was Cedar when I listened to it, although a Sprucey
kind of Cedar, but when I looked at the photo the wood was yellowish
and not reddish so I figured it was a Cedary sounding Spruce. I
agree:

Ah, go ahead and join Chris' blog, Tashi. How else can he achieve the
honor of kicking you off, as so many others have?

Thanks, Michael.

I'm really enjoying the guitar so far. It's like a whole new world of
playing!

A beautiful guitar, and a very nice sound, as far as can be told from
a recording. Sounds cedary to me. I've got two cedar guitars and four
spruce. I love 'em all.

Nice going Tashi and Chris.

Thanks Chris! I'll join up soon. I'm strangely fascinated by a blog
that discusses classical guitar.

Thanks Richard, I feel a new friendship brewing despite our political
differences, belief in ET's, who knows, you might even order a guitar
from me.

Oh no! Don't get your hopes up too high John. I'm just praying it
turns out better than a Yamaha.

Haaaa Tashi! I finally feels this new brewing friendship ready to bud
between us here, just by your use of the word snow flake! It's amazing how
powerful words can be. Must be the canuckian in you that is finally
awakening! I know ... the winter Olympics are coming ... and somehow the
snow flakes might loose a little of their magic during that "elite time" of
the year ...

Some more recordings of Christopher Davis. He is an excellent
player despite his new guitar.
