喜欢指弹,一定喜欢押尾。最喜欢他的的:WIND SONG, LAST CHRISTMAS, LIBERTANGO, 约束,这类叙事性的乐曲,当然自然而然就爱上了他的GREVEN OM HERRINGBONE CUSTOM吉他。好想好想要一把,于是找到GREVEN GUITAR的网站,今年1月左右跟JOHN取得了联系。
由于自己技术一般,因此,实在是找了个牵强的借口来给自己定把琴(送给自己30岁的礼物)。我跟JOHN说,我很喜欢这把琴的声音和琴型,很想要一把一样的,JOHN很好,把押尾的这把琴配置给了我,让我参考:
Body wood Honduran rosewood
Top wood Lutz
Neck Honduran mahogany with ebony fingerboard and rosewood headstock overlay
Gotoh 510 enclosed tuners
The bracing will be like a mid-1930's Martin with small, narrow, scalloped Sitka braces in the "Advanced" X brace position and
small maple bridge plate
看了以后,我跟JOHN沟通了一下把背侧换成巴西玫瑰木(巴枚阿巴枚),其他的不变,自己很喜欢押尾那把指板的飞鸟INLAY,只是把琴头的换成了WHITE WOMAN而不是押尾那只鹰。
于是漫长的等待开始了,等阿,等阿,等不及了就发个邮件问候一下进度,JOHN都是有问必回。贴几段他的原文给大家看看:
2月25日:
Dear Prince;
Yes, I have begun the work on the OM guitar for you. I will take a picture of the guitar in the mold today and email to you. I have some very fine rosewood for this guitar, some of the nicest I have seen in many, many years. Good color, perfect quarter, good ring tone. Thank you.
John
(看到这个我好高兴阿,哈哈)

I chose some really special Brazilian rosewood for this one, a set I had planned to keep for one of my own personal guitars. I know it will amaze you. The White Lady headstock inlay is all hand cut by me and hand engraved with the details. The wider wood rosette is a burl material that has a lovely color and pattern to it.
As to the setup and action, it is very low and super comfortable, but because the guitar is very loud and powerful, it requires very little playing pressure to make sound. It is this quality that Oshio very much prefers when he plays my guitars. He gets a full voice with almost not effort of the right hand. I will keep you posted.
John

Prince;
We gathered some guitar players here last night to record your guitar along with several other new Greven guitars. Everyone was totally amazed by your guitar and it was the favorite. I also really like it, I think it might be one of the best ones I have made. I wouldn't mind keeping the guitar for myself! I will email the sound clip when I get it back from my recording engineer in a few days.

Prince;
This is one sweet guitar! It plays like butter and sounds big and full and wonderful. You will love it. The K&K pickup is excellent as well, sounds like a real acoustic guitar not one with a pickup. Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to make this amazing guitar for you. Oshio would love it!
再说说关于PICKUP的选择,现在装的是K&K mini-western,本来我是想要那个有MIC的拾音器,但是JOHN说他试过说不太好,没这个听起来真实,这个拾音器听起来不像是电子拾音器,更像是一个放大器,把原声吉他放大了,我用我很烂的箱子试了一下,真的是跟不插电声音没差别。哈哈!暗喜!
好了,上配置:
背侧: 巴枚
面板: LUTZ SPRUCE (这个特别说一下:我翻了很多国外的网站论坛,因为不知道这个是什么木头,他们说是STIKA SPRUCE和GERMAN SPRUCE的杂交品种,MR. GREVEN很喜欢用这个,甚至比ADI还喜欢,他说这个听起来跟50年的ADI一样的声音)。
指板&琴桥:乌木
琴颈:洪都拉斯枫木
旋钮:GOTOH 510 GOLD
再次,感谢我老婆跑到香港去帮我把琴拿回来,因为寄到香港朋友那里,要自己去提安全一点,刚好前两天住院,老婆看我忍不住思念,主动请缨去拿回来,大热天,好重的琴。哈哈!
这两天很潮,面板有点鼓了,好像,今天把琴弦送了,塞了很多的干燥剂,希望过几天会好些。唉,我的LL16就是股起来回不去了,深圳的鬼气候。
我想上图,怎么上?谁教我一下阿!
