"Impending Death of the Virgin Spirit" is IMO, one of the most beautiful modern fingerstyle pieces ever written. It always sounds fantastic when Will (the composer) plays it, but it sounds especially fine on that Froggy. Thanks for sharing...time to go pull out my Windham Hill collection!

Thanks for the sound clip. I have an H14 with that same Adirondack/Madagascar pairing and listening to Will's instrument I can hear the same magical qualities. Pretty amazing sound. Pretty great guitars.

How utterly satisfying to be handed a guitar--let alone your signature model--and it just welcomes you with amazing sound!
Will Ackerman is whom I most identify with as what my compositions try to capture; he has great space around the notes, phrasing and tempo. I would love to play a Froggy, but have yet to be fortunate enough for Elderly to have one in.

Thanks for sharing!
It's got the typical Froggy magic. I wonder how it sounds with nails/flesh instead of finger picks. I love Frogs!

I know that Froggy Bottom are known for making amazing small bodied guitars, but IMO their larger bodies are no slouches! My K is Killer and if I could add another to my group it would be a tough call between a H or an SJ.
