Gringo1,
I use SCGC light tensions on my OM, Otis Taylor H and the F cutaway.
I used Elixer PBs until SCGC introduced their strings.
Now the Remuda gets SCGC on the Saddles.Chris,
it is not a “cooked” top.
I emailed Carolyn about the guitar when I bought it to get an insurance/replacement value. She replied that it is a European spruce with a ‘lite” vintage tint.
I asked if the spruce was German or Italian and she replied that SCGCs records indicate the term European Spruce. So I don’t know country of origin for the top.
Besides being a beautiful guitar it is very comfortable in my old hands.this is several years old….It is the 4th guitar made by SCGC from “The Tree”. It is signed by Richard Hoover as apparently
he was very “Hands On ” with the building of the guitar.
Richard seems to have overcome his reservation about building from this wood…I noticed the one at the NAMM show and also he was showing off another “set” of the tree to folks at Namm.A Remuda are the horses that are cut out from the herd that will be rode that day.
Remember the TV show Rawhide ? Rowdy Yates (Clint Eastwood) was the wrangler and the Trail Boss would tell him to “Cutout the best for the Remuda…It’s going to be a rough day !”
I feel like my small but select Remuda are the best of the herd.
