At last... my new guitar!!

hello... this is not a post to announce the arrival of my new guitar.. that happened sometime ago.. instead, here're the pics, hope u all like them...

I like the smell of wood especially when it sounds so good... the guitar features stuff like:

a solid Sitka Spruce top ("solid" means that it is not laminated or ply-wood, its one layer of 1 kind of wood), indian rosewood back and sides, a rosewood fretboard, branded grover tuners (which are really accurate and precise and reliable), and a nut and a saddle both made of a material that u all will have to guess... haha... those who already know, dun say!! let the rest guess... =) post the answer on the tagboard.....

Anyway, the guitar sounds fantastic and i can play it for hours without getting bored... any chord sounds good on it :) just in case u all want to know, its by Maestro, a singapore brand, made in singapore, and the model is EJ-3 which stands for elite series (just one of their series names) and the shape is jumbo, which explains the FAT shape and big strumming sound, especially the resonating bass notes (",)

Ok... here're the photos..

Front view... its in the foam case.... not a good photo. bad lighting and rather blur =/

This is the sound hole with pearl inlays around it... this is probably the best photo... :)

Another photo of the sound hole..

The fretboard... rosewood... the strings going above it at regular intervals is nice isnt it?

This is what they call the headstock of the guitar. Grover tuning machines, very accurate like i said....

Top view, in the foam case that i bought together with it..

Close-up of fretboard..

The Indian Rosewood back and sides. Indian rosewood is good because it gives a good balance of clarity and richness and volume... i think....

Close-up of the spruce top... nice wood grain... =)

Maple was used to bind the sides of the guitar as shown above, instead of plastic on cheap guitars...

Finally, the saddle is the white piece of thing in front of the 6 round things. What is it made of...??

Ok... have a few more photos but not going to post them cos they're not very nice anyway... hope u all like my new guitar like i do.. probably will get to play it some time lah... =) next post on the Church Camp coming up..... bye!!
