"My
Eichelbaum Grand Concert Guitar has enormously round, fat, individual
notes, much like a fine classical guitar. It seems perfect for the
jazz fingerstyle that I love to play, but it also sounds marvelous
for "plectrum-style" jazz, which many people associate with archtops.
I love to surprise students by playing the Eichelbaum in settings
where an archtop or classical would be the "normal" instrument of
choice.
For
me, its size, style, and neck dimensions and visual appeal are a
constant source of pleasure. Many of my students have remarked that,
of all the nice guitars they've seen and heard me play, this is
the one they'd want for their own. A pro jazz player friend recently
came over and played all my acoustics, and pronounced the Eichelbaum
his favorite...last I heard, he was saving up for one!"
