John Price’s guitar has clarity the others don’t have. And yet the balance is very fine. I like it best!

I have a 2003 Smallman and love it. I also have a 2015 Dominique Field as well as a 1988 Fleta. The Smallman is street ahead of anything out there, just brilliant, thanks for the demos.

Always Greg Smallman..
And the other Australian luthiers follow you

All the guitars are fabulous. I very much like the O'Leary one because of its lighter weight.

I thought that I am going to be the only one to say that, I am glad that we share the same taste.

Very informative. Thanks for posting. When I think of Lattice braced guitars, Smallman and those who are influenced by him are not the only ones who come to mind. There are many makers who build excellent lattice braced instruments with traditional lightweight solid rosewood back and sides, no heavy framework around the top and no carbon fibre. In the late 1980s I sold lattice guitars from Eric Sahlin of Spokane WA, USA. I sold one to Earl Klugh, one to Chet Atkins and was instrumental in the sale of the first one to members of the Los Angeles Guitar Quartet. Soon after I played some fine lattice guitars by Richard Prenkert of California. Currently I have a shipment of normal weight, solid back and sides guitars from Esteve in Spain, which are moderately priced, sound great in spruce cedar, 650mm, 640mm or even 630mm. Typically many of these instruments have a 5x5 lattice of spruce braces but do offer the lattice sound in a more traditional instrument with no laminations. thanks, jerry Roberts

Great demo, although Philippe can make a shoe box wrapped with rubber bands sound beautiful; exceptional tone! I suspect that if I was to try them, I would hear and feel the difference in the Smallman, as I always have, having owned two.

Very enjoyable video. However, I just can't get past the basic hollow sound of them, even if some sound less hollow than the others. If I was a pro player then perhaps other qualities would win me over.

You left out David Schramm

La Smallman es la mejor guitarra de todas.

[@anthonyluu9121]

Amazing performance

Hello wonderful presentation and great guitars as always🙂👏👏, but why from so far🤔? There are also other good Lattice guitar builders in Europe, such as Alexandru Marian from Romania.

[@philippemariotti8948]

You’re right, but I did with what was in store… I wish we had a Redgate too because it’s a wonderful guitar too.

[@nashynet]

What’s the tune?

[@tritone3284]

I'm really sorry for this comment but they all sound a bit too much lattice for me. Michael o'leary is a good but I will not buy it for me.

[@philippemariotti8948]

It’s no trouble, and I can understand what you mean, and this is why you can find lattice but also double tops and traditional guitars so everyone can find the best guitar for his taste. They all have their qualities but also their drawbacks. Thank you for sharing your feelings. 😊
