I've got to say that that tone is really not appealing to me, boxy, strange ringing throughout. Could be set up, brand new strings etc. looks lovely, But not for me sonically.

Here is the weird thing about that guitar, I picked it up fairly new to the genre at the time about 15 months ago and it was louder than anything in the store (Caravan). I did not understand the sound at the time, just sounded gypsy to me. Fast forward to now, I hear the boxiness of it when playing solo but it is still loud and records well. Did the recording below over a year ago and I think it translates well. Has a unique personality compared to a standard petit bouche (I have a Dupont also). I can certainly understand why the sound here would not be for everyone but I like having standard and unique voices to my instruments.

The tune is 'stardust' nice arrangement too..I would say any decent luthier in your parts could make one to order, I got quoted 100 euro for a rosewood one though...

Something no one has mentioned about Shelly's guitars is that if you like an American neck profile, her guitars are the way to go. The French guitars have a neck profile that is wider as the neck nears the body and are mostly D shaped rather that the American C shape. That said, she will build your guitar to any neck shape/size that you desire.

I am glad that most of the comments regarding her guitars have been favorable. She is a superb luthier, make no mistake about it.
