Check out the song "Gossamer Heart", this is the first thing I recorded after recieving the Schoen Winchester. Walked into my drummer Fred's house (he's got a little home studio set up).... he handed me a sheet of paper with some lyrics on it.... pressed record and said.... sit down and record this song. What you hear is that 1 take. Nice short little ditty. Recorded this with 2 battery powered Sony condenser mics.... one on the coverplate and one to grab the vocals.

Turbo 6, Number 6.... The Schoen Winchester. It was featured in Fretboard Journal's Winter 08 issue. Lot's of nice details in that article. The box is an old Winchester shotgun ammo box, probably from the 1950's. The box was disassembeled, thinned, pared down, braced with sitka spruce and reassembled. The neck is a bolt-on neck-through design - a support runs internally through the middle of the body, underneath the soundwell. The cone is Kurt's 7" proprietary cone. It likes midrange tones. The bridge is recycled flooring material - the biscuit piece is douglas fir from a nurses office in Dalles, Oregon. The saddle is maple from a factory in Indiana, circa 1870. (This probably means the maple is about 600 years old we estimate). The metal coverplate & neckplate is from a farm in Oregon. The brass is just Kurt's usual stuff. The ebony binding was reused from the Gibson banjo factory. There is an internal pickup.... I believe it's a B-Band. Thanks for the compliments... but they should all be directed towards Kurt Schoen of http://www.schoenguitars.com
