We started out by fixing Evelyn's guitar. George made a new saddle for her out of mammoth bones. For the record, she is using a Yamaha F330, which was bought 10++ years ago. Off goes the old saddle, in goes the new bone saddle and spanking Elixir strings. We played Bryan Adam's Everything I Do, and man, it sounds good with more than 1 guitar playing.
We also had an opportunity to try George's guitars. He has a Taylor all Koa guitar, and a Taylor Presentation Series. The Koa guitar itself cost more than RM10k brand new, and the presentation series is > RM20k. Man, this is really my day. Rarely I would have the opportunity to play such beautiful guitars.
This is the all Koa guitar. I thought that this guitar really suits Evelyn. It's a small bodied guitar, and she looks good (and sexy) playing it.
Now this is the crown jewel of them all. A Taylor presentation series with Brazilian rosewood back and sides. Now for the uninformed, Brazilian Rosewood is the ultimate tonewood for guitars. It's almost close to extinction, and it cost a bomb! Many guitar makers will only use Brazilian Rosewood to make their best guitars. Man, I wished I had one of these. A beautiful guitar. Absolutely a stunner.
Anyway, we left at around 4:30 pm after fixing Evelyn's guitar. If George is reading this (hahaha, but I doubt he knows about this site), I would like to thank him for hosting our guitar meet up. PS:- He has a very beautiful Siberian dog, Tasha :)
