Crowdster question

[teleplucker]

Here's a question for the Crowdster owners. Do any of you use open tunings or lowered tunings for example DADGAD, open G, or lowering the entire pitch a whole step.
How does the neck and string spacing feel for fingerstyle playing?
Thanks

I know David Crowder has two...one for standard tuning and another for his alternate tunings. I think he likes his;) Hmmm...fingersyle it does pretty good but I'm a strummer mostly.

I perform a lot of material in open tunings including: open G, DADF#AD, DADGAD, Drop D, Double Drop D, and open C. I also do about half of my material a whole step down.

I find the Crowdster handles this effortlessly. Some of my other guitars sound funny tuned down a whole step. The Crowdster handles it fine.

I play a lot of fingerstyle and find the spacing to be fine. No issues at all for me.

Thanks for the remarks, I afraid that I'm going to have to find room in my house for a new guitar.

they don't take up much space at all.

they don't take up much space at all.

And they seem to multiply. :)

I don't use alt tunings at all, because I want to go from song to song in my worship sets, but I do fingerstyle playing on my C+ all the time, no problem. In fact, imho, the Crowdster sounds better fingerstyle than with a pick. And it sounds real good with a pick!

Hard to believe how fast this worked out. I am now the proud owner of a C+, I'll try to post a couple of pics. Can't wait to play the guitar on a job, next gig is on the 12th of April, I'll post my thoughts after that.

Congrats on a beautiful guitar. It looks nice next to the other one, too. I just spent the evening at a gig playing my C+. I'm getting to the place where I don't even want to play my new Martin OMC Aura. The Crowdster + is such a joy. Oh, and you should have seen the drunk lady last night gushing about my guitar.

Enjoy and post a review.

I'm diggin on the Atom!


That's gonna be my next as soon as Tom and the guys get another shipment of Koa I'm gonna have them build me an Atom to keep my Koa C+ company:p

And it's GOTTA have the Bigsby and chrome hardware, just like yours..

Nice...



Now figuring out how to pay for it is another thing... :D

You have excellent taste in colors and wood.

Here is, apparently, that guitar's sister.

you can't see it in his not-so-well-color-balanced photo, but I think our guitars basically look the same.

Thanks for the comments, The Bigsby on the Atom is a lot of fun and it stays in tune. The color on is C+ was probably not my first choice, I really like the Desert Sunset sunburst but the deal on the natural was too sweet to pass up. It is a beautiful guitar.

The neck on the C+ feels great, a little thicker and rounder than the Atom, makes it feel like a real acoustic guitar, it actually feels a lot like a 50's Gibson neck. I'm very happy with it.
