Comments from owner Mark of Myrtle Beach, SC:
“It is my dream guitar ... the rosewood is beautiful.”
“I love the cedar sound and I think you nailed it all around.”
“It projects very well, is in tune across the fretboard, is warm, the basses are rich and trebles well tempered. The oiled neck is the best I have ever played on to date--beats the lacquered neck by a long shot. I like the handmade characteristics of the guitar, the smell of the fresh cedar, and the personal process of working with Chris Conery was informative and a lot of fun. I would do it again and may for a spruce top.”
German spruce, Indian rosewood with curly Koa bindings and Romanillos-style spruce bracing, Premium Gotoh tuners.
Comments from owner Arnold of Milpitas, CA:
“It has a rich beautiful tone with good volume. The basses are deep and mellow and the trebles sing.”
“Notes are clear, separation is excellent and the sustain is very good. It has a nice mellow tone, like the spruce has already opened up.”
“You nailed it on the sound.”
“The (oil) finish on the neck of the guitar is very smooth and comfortable.”
The first impression you get from having a Chris Conery guitar in your hands is the overwhelming sense that you’re holding a masterful piece of craftsmanship: elegant, restrained and with a highly refined, tasteful finish.
The second impression is the penetrating projection of the high notes: clear, transparent (diaphanous) and sparkling in all ranges, even in the highest positions, where few guitars achieve a sound that is so solid, sustained and bright.
The bass notes are a perfect complement to the higher pitches, with a sound that is noble, has presence, and is very rich and deep; together, they result in a guitar with balance, separation of voices and colors, and a volume that is majestic without any clashing overtones.
