Overview: This
is a particularly elegant sounding and looking concert guitar. Its warm
round clear sound is unusually firm and responsive to the touch,
perfectly balanced, and focused due to strong fundamental tones and
beautifully controlled overtones through out all registers. Contrapuntal
separation and harmonic blending are superb. This guitar's sonic range
of color and attack is also very impressive. Neck contour and string
action set up are excellent making playability in all positions a dream.
Materials and workmanship are impeccable.
Daniel Friederich's
sound and luthiery style has always been a guiding influence in the
evolution of Stephen Eden's sound and approach. When Eden encountered
this original 1980 Friederich guitar, one of the most outstanding
examples of this maker's work, and the owner afforded him the chance to
produce a direct bench copy of it, Eden jumped at the
opportunity..Stephen Eden's beautiful bench copies have proved to be
highly successful concert guitars. More information coming soon.
