The New Standard? A 7-Steel-String Guitar that can do Everything

This lovely new guitar by Rob Hodgson has given me a brilliant excuse to talk about why 7 string guitars are awesome, and how steel-string acoustics, with the right setup, can be only instrument you might ever need. In particular, they can really elevate classical style playing like my own, and have distinct advantages over traditional classical instruments. My first two official releases (made using this guitar) are attached below, with the unedited recordings played at the end of the video.
