Here are some sound clips of my Marcellis-brand arch top. And my Grey Goose.
Let me know what you think. Personally, I think this arch top is a monster.
I waited until the arch top had suitably dead strings. They're 3 month old EXP .10's. They're dead.
The Grey Goose has about 6 week old Nano .11's. They still sound pretty good.
Now that I have a decent mixer, I can finally make a marginal recordings.
Don't mind my poor guitar playing. Everything is unrehearsed. I'm not a great guitarist anyway.
Also I did nothing to edit the recordings. They're acoustic-only. No pick-ups.
No EQ, no compression, no FX, no normalization, no gate, no nothing.
So what you hear is what the mic picked up.
Warning - this arch top is bright and it is loud. In the beginning I clipped
it a a couple of times. You can hear my pick clicking the pickguard too.
I did not change volume settings or mic placement for these guitars.
They were both recorded with exactly the same set-up. I didn't adjust
volume levels or even move the mic.
Arch top is carved Spruce top & solid Mahogany back & sides. No laminate.

Grey Goose is Cedar top & Cambodian Rosewood Back & Sides. You can hear some street
noise in the back ground on this recording.
