Nice looking and sounding guitar! Every nick, ding, scratch, and scuff just adds to the guitar’s story. I love seeing guitars with a bit of wear and tear because it means they were loved and well used.
First off, that is one glorious guitar. Even over my iPad speakers, it sounds fabulous. I can only imagine what it felt like when you dinged it. In my case, I’m on my third Martin Dreadnaught (HD-28), and each of my guitars has been well-used when purchased, so they’ve already had a fair share of patina… meaning, if I bump it on something, that only adds to the existing “character.” At least that’s my rationale. That said, I’m still extremely careful with it. As for music stands, I’m pretty active on the local jam scene, so I needed a stand that would work well while seated (I.e., down around my knees so other folks can see my chords), and was also sturdy enough to hold my Big Book o’ Lyrics, without which I’m lost. It’s a 3-ring binder with upwards of 200 pages, and I think your stand would be a bit tottery with that kind of load on it. I also needed a stand which would fold down small enough to fit in my gig bag. I found a good one on Amazon… all metal, and definitely up to the task. And I have yet to bang my guitar on it. So far, so good. 😊
Oh now not fun to damage the NT Wright guitar. Thankfully that's a pretty simple thing and the area isn't so bad. On my last guilt I actually dropped the body and broke the back of my incomplete guitar. It was so frustrating. I got it mostly back together and finished it since it was a rather experimental build anyway. But I just hated breaking the back on it. So a little ding to the binding I could live with, but still, it's an $8,000 guitar and no one wants to damage that. The stand is certainly interesting. Most of my playing is at church and we already have the stands there, but then again... they do look exactly like what you had at that retreat you played at! So far, I haven't damaged mine on them.
I’ve banged several guitars on a similar stand over the last 20 years. Accidents happen. At least you didn’t pay to have it relic’d! Sorry - nice guitar reminds me of a flame maple Gibson J200 I’ve had for years
Always buy a HERCULES stand or do not buy any. I damaged mine on a cheap guitar stand also. Not so much a music stand. Set it down right on the teeth of it. Ouch. HERCULES solved it.
I was thinking the same thing after the first video but didn’t want to be a “Debbie downer” on the new guitar. Now we have the first ding so I guess it’s all good now! Guitars are meant to be played, but I would absolutely keep that one at home.
Looks a little light weight and flimsy to me. I usually have a notebook + individual sheets on the stand when working out new songs or band rehearsals.

Nathaniel Wright makes the most amazing guitars with beautiful, unique and intricate inlay
The first ding always hurts. Glad it wasn’t the sound board
The first cut is the deepest

What a beautiful guitar!
Thanks. Yes. This one is $7,800

As you know that ding can be drop filled with lacquer and you would be hard pressed to see it after the repair.
Call it Murphy Lab and add $2k to the value on your insurance. 😊
Still one of the most beautiful guitars ive ever seen brother. ❤

I'm sorry I am not buying a expensive guitar for now. I would for other people if could ❤
Take a less incredible guitar on retreats...morale to the story...you're a very talented musician...thats a really beautiful guitar.
I really like the KG music stand thanks for sharing. Watch that guitar now! 😊

@@rexomatic8667 Why did you sell it?
MOJO, in progress!
How does this material hold up in the cold? Have you tried a Hercules Stand for 1/3 the price?
@@texhaines9957 Hercules are fantastic.
whats the song in the church? 2:00
January Wedding by the Avery Brothers.
Feels like the first time.

Why did you put bridge pin holes so far from saddle?
Why no bridge ramps?
Good question! Nathaniel built it that way, I will probably add ramps shortly.
This is similar to a lot of Gibson steel-string guitars and I've never understood the rationale behind the reverse belly bridge.

@@nickpearsonuk I didn't ask about the bridge, it's hard to decide how exactly its position changes the tone.
I only care about the break angle.
You should have played out with the D18 Aged Authentic.

Does John Mayer use this? If so I need it. If not it's crap.
@@mitchellnathanson2739 He also sucks lollipops. You need to as well!
NOOOOOO
