I have found your guitars through gilad (love his playing) and must say, that i was astonished by your craftmanship..the look and sound of your instruments is extraordinary..such an achievement..
Gilad is a guitarist fantastic !!! Doubtless inspired by this guitar. I have a chance to possess Victor Baker's model in France. His instruments are works of art fantastic !!!
Bravo... HR's are otherworldly cool & this looks & sounds like an awesome evolution of the design and a fitting Artist to attach the model name too. Howard would dig it!
This guitar sounds great and I like how during the fast legato ideas, nothing gets lost. I know that is because Gilad is an accomplished player but still... it comes through really clear but stays soft even though each note is still articulate. Does the sound hole lend to a softer attack? Also, I've recently started using 12's instead of 13's and 14's because I feel like you can get that nice warm and rich "scrapey/fingernail on string sound" easier with the right pick and attack angle. This guitar just seems to live in that zone. Again, I know this is Gilad and his skill but is the guitar actually designed to help facilitate this? I'm not trying to discredit Gilad or find a guitar that does the work for me... It's just a tone I really like (In my personal experience, I attribute that rich "fingernail" sound to an all maple, spruce top, sorta sound) and want to be a little more educated on how to find it in general.
Great guitar! Love that sound and your finish! Saw Gilad here in Germany, he is an incredible musician. Is that an RMC bridge? Greetings from Germany - Axel

A perfect pairing a great guitar and a great musician .

Beautiful guitar, beautiful playing,
I just acquired a Victor Baker 2006! It is as wonderful an instrument as my Jimmy D’Aquisto 1972 New Yorker. That’s saying a lot!
I love Hekselman. Beautiful sound and beautiful instrument. You did a fantastic job Victor!
wow that's a beautiful guitar. gilad is definitely worthy of an instrument that incredible
thanks Kyle!!
That is such a lovely finish on the guitar. And the contoured edge was a nice touch as well

Absolutely gorgeous.
Lovely and excellent playing by Gilad and the guitar does sound wonderful, It would also be helpful to hear the guitar without any effects at all.
Stuning!!!
Great guitar man. You should touch base with Jonathan Kreisberg. Looks like he needs a custom 175 style guitar made.
thanks Ray! I'm down! :-)

Thanks Axel! Yes- it's an RMC :-)
wow, nice guitar! how are those pickups mounted to the body?
neck is floating one, and what about bridge?
Sweet, just wondering, where are the controls for the rmc system?
Hmmm its been a while but i think the controls were 2 of the 4 knobs.
Sounds amAzing!! Great wOrk Victor!! But did Hex turn overnight in a lefthanded player? I can only dream bout such a guitar :'-(
Thanks Paul! haha i dont know why the video flipped itself. I made G a righty i swear! haha
does it come with delay and reverb built in? lol!
He was playing music, not demonstrating the dry sound of the guitar.. lol
I believe it's Gilad that comes built-in with delay+reverb.
How does it differ from the original?
What is the song that he's playing?
Duke Ellington’s Sophisticated Lady.
Duke Ellington tune?
Yes, Sophisticated Lady.
He's playing sophisticated lady right?
