A customer brought a couple of his instruments in for us to play and we found them to be fabulous instruments. My friend from Dublin (where it is customary to use somewhat "salty" language) demonstrated several creative conjugations of the F-bomb out of sheer excitement after playing it. (We had to remind him that in Minnesota we like to save the most colorful language for the privacy of our fishing boats and for special occasions like a treble hook in the ear). Anyway, we appreciated his sentiments and immediately called David to see if we could handle his instruments.
The GA40V is an awesome instrument with great volume, a thick but articulate bass and it sings up the neck. It has a very modern voice and perfect for the contemporary fingerstyle player. It has great dynamics in that the lightest of touch will drive it and produce a lovely tone but you can also just beat on it and there is no hint of it starting to break up. The Workmanship is as good as it gets. Flammangs are truly world class instruments and are as good any instrument as anything made at any price.
