I am honoured to have delivered a new DADGAD model G1.2 to Tony McManus at the 2010 Montréal Guitar Show. Following the show, Tony stopped by my shop to record a few tunes. As usual, this is the artist, the guitar and a single mic in the bench room of my shop. There are no pickups being used. The sound is pure. Enjoy!

It seems like in the Video that the frets are skewed? Is this a problem with the video or is it in the design of the Guitar to optimize it for DADGAD tuning?
scawa1952 1 year ago
@scawa1952 yes...the frets are "fanned". the guitar is built on multiple scale lengths to best accommodate the altered tunings Tony uses.

wow.... the guitars that you make are absolutely amazing. i don't think i've ever heard such a pure and moving sound come from any instrument. keep up the great work. maybe one day i'll be able to afford one too!

@fowler512010 Thanx! i appreciate your kind words and would love to craft an instrument for you too!

It's a great sounding guitar! Of course, having Tony playing it doesn't hurt one little bit. He is the genius of Scottish guitar. But no reverb added!? That's amazing. You must have a most reverberous shop! And what microphone is it? Is that a Neumann or what? Great all around.

@Artzner Correction....i was initially told that there was no reverb added but have since been informed by Tom at Flico Media that he did, in the end, add a very small amount of reverb for better stereo imaging. sorry if there was any confusion.
