Super sound on that 000-18! Great playing too.

Erik,
Sounds Awesome!! Really fun to hear you play. You’ve got some serious skills!
In the first bit you played I was thinking where’s the bass? Then you popped into that sweet bass run and I got the WOW of sinker. Really great balance across the tonal range on that guitar.
CONGRATS!

Big Thanks to you for your inspiration @DMart

That is really nice stuff. If you need to adopt that guitar out some time, I may be willing to give it a good home.

Sounds like a good swap, @erikbog
So you had the Furch OM for, what, 14 months?
As far as I remember, an OM and a 000 share the same body shape, but your change got you a shorter scale length and a narrower neck – goes well with those spider fingers (I’m just jealous).This guitar sounds marvellous – especially when flatpicked – which is also my experience when comparing Furchs and Martins.
Very nice and balanced sound, and I like the looks.And hey – I get to to own the top dog Furch in TAC again 🙂

Hi @Niels good to see you here. I had a bit of a deeper look into it, because that right shoulder is a bit of an issue.
Furch OM is slightly smaller: not as wide at the lower bout (just under 15 inches) and not as deep. Together with the different scale length this is effecting my playing position. Had a look into it with a guitar teacher, had some tips, did the stretching as recommended by Tony. But the overall experience is just not pleasant. Afterwards. Don’t notice it when I am playing.
Which is a real bummer, coz it is such an awesome guitar in every way. Tone, playability, looks, and it records really nice. But comfort is a factor if you want to play every day.
So maybe I’ll go back to Furch. I’ll give it a few more days and decide.

Great explanation, @ErikBog
I had never thought about that it might be a playing position issue, but it makes excellent sense.
I just listened again to you playing the Martin, and it sounds gorgeous ❤ -
Great illustrating if that Sinker! @ErikBog I love the great tonal balance of the individual strings! Not to take away of how flawless you play these days!👋👋
