Finally the goddess has arrived: A brand new SJ by Froggy Bottom.
Made of rare Adirondack spruce, Indian rosewood, ebony, maple…
These beautiful wooden inlays and the perfect craftsmanship say it all: it’s guitar player’s heaven. The Rolls Royce in acoustic guitars. And just to have mentioned it: this is the plain version of the Froggy Bottom SJ! No sunburst. No mother-of-pearl (except the frog-logo on the headstock). No golden tuners. (Sorry girls!)
In contrast to so many nice looking boutique instruments this one sounds even better than it looks. Even if the wood of this brand new champ is still stiff (and probably still doesn’t know it’s a guitar yet) the tone is rich, mellow, shining, deep… everything you could want from a southern jumbo. And it will develop the more you play it. Sorry: the more I play it. – Don’t you dare!
The perfect singer songwriter companion:
Inspiring with sparkling harmonics which will never sound too bright. Even strummed hard every string rings like a bell. I love the colored inlays. My rough illustration-draft for the heelcap was transformed into an amazing piece of art by Petria Mitchell. (It’s the only extra feature added to the standard version.)
This is my one and only acoustic guitar from now on. Do I deserve it? Probably not. Yep, life can be so unfair…
(Anyone interested in buying a Martin D 18 from ’93 which I once thought did sound “great”?)
Hey, and the vintage luxury plush-case smells like vanilla. (He he.)
Many, many thanks to Michael Millard and his team of superheroes. You did a fantastic job!
(And special thanks to you, Tommy!)
