This is my new 2018 Douglass Scott Classical Guitar. He did a wonderful job on the guitar. It has a clear, elegant, and focused sound and I love the feel of the smaller scale length and body of the instrument. I’ve tried out many of his guitars before and I believe them to be some of the best classical guitars out there. His guitars have a really great responsive ‘pop’ to the trebles all within a sweet and sustained sound. His unique fan brace design and the small body on this one is surprisingly loud and projects very clearly but without the over the top mid-range that some doubletops produce. I’ve tried many guitars lately from doubletops, to lattice, to traditional instruments but Scott guitars won me over! This will be my main instrument from now on and I’m very pleased with it. Since this is a small scale with a smaller body and other interesting features I thought I’d demo/review it for you. Maybe you just want to learn about new instruments or you’re interested in buying a Scott. Enjoy.

please, what's the name of piece at 14:35 ?
what's the nut width for this?
I am totally inexperienced when it comes to classical guitars. The thing that I wonder is that, for such an expensive guitar, I would have expected it to have a far lower string action. Is high string action the norm with classical guitars?
You are absolutely correct about arm placement on a large bodied guitar. I'm retired now but I used to play both nylon and steel string acoustic guitars. I once owned a beloved Gibson J200 and a J100 but the size of the bodies put my right arm in unnatural position that affected my picking ability. I felt large bodied guitars were more appropriate for strumming than picking. Thanks for your videos.
I'm torturing my guitar. comparing how i'm playing to him i found out my skills are below 0
Mr. Werner, This is a beautiful guitar and you play it beautifully. Thank you for sharing.
And also, thank you again for the wonderful and lovely Christmas video albums you recorded for the Holidays. They were brilliantly simple–the music, the guitar and the player–so very captivating.
This sounds good and looks nice, but it also sounds like a lot of other luthier built guitars. Have to say – beyond some rare historical guitars and certain types that have unique color, perhaps too much is made of these guitars in terms of sound and playability. The luthiers learn from another and copy a lot, so in the end they kind of all blend together.
It's beautiful. It sounds divine. You are such an inspiration Mr. W! What have you called it? All guitars have to have a name right?
Thank you so much for your videos. I'm working hard at them over here in England and loving it. I treated myself to a fully solid classical and got it two weeks ago. Not in the same league as yours obvs but I love him. Cedar and rosewood. Problem is I keep stopping playing just so I can look at him and give him a little stroke. ????
What's the elbow pad made from…the one on your arm
Congrats – it sounds great and very clear – not sure if reverb was added or not? But it sounds good! Thanks for sharing – I am in the process of moving to a smaller scale classical guitar myself. For more challenging pieces that are in first position a lot – for example Prelude, Fugue and Allegro I find capoing up one first makes it much easier on the fretting hand for me personally, which basically inspired me to look for a shorter-scale guitar. Thanks and best wishes!
It really sounds good. There are hardly any classical guitars for sale in music shops now. Choice of scores of steelstrings and electrics…
No plastic sound
Very nice instrument, excellent sound. If it is not indiscretion, may we know the price?
Hi thanks. What is the name of the second song you played in the video? Not the Tarrega one. Cheers
Was wondering what led you to choose cedar over spruce for your Douglass Scott?
I am short too, smaller and narrow hands, just wondering if reducing it to 640mm would be enough or maybe i should go for more like yours.
I would love that guitar as much….
how much is that
I'm 5 foot tall with small hands and play a massive Ramirez 1a, 664mm scale length.. it sounds amazing, but is an absolute unit.
Hi, many thanks for your very informative channel. By the way, have you tried instruments from luthiers from other parts of the world, i.e. Spain, Germany, South America, U.S., even Asia? If so, what is your opinion? And how do Canadian instruments compare with them? I am in Canada.
42 is a good bit smaller than 52, definitely more than negligible
hi do you have any numbers for the body size please? Particularly the nut width – looks about 50mm. Many thanks.
Hi, have you tried the Yulong Guo Chamber DT model? what do you think? I am finding very hard to find a guitar that is reasonable in price.
hi what is the price of this classical guitar? I am looking for a classical guitar but there are so many options it is difficult to pick one. cheers
Congrats on your guitar…last time I tuned in you were thinking about a short scale double top.
Fantastic but it's a 7k$ guitar!! beside Cordoba any other suggestion in the 1000-1500$ range?
Thank you for the in depth review! That is a beautiful instrument, both in sound and craftsmanship!
Looks like beautiful instrument. I'm intrigued by the way the strings are attached to the bridge. I've never seen that method before. Are there any benefits?
in which shop can I buy the guitar.
Hey, just wondering what the action is at the 12th fret on the bass E string?
how much?
How much are Douglass’s guitars in usd
What was that lovely piece you played at 13:10 in the video? I'd like to find the sheet music for it. Thank you.
What brand and tension of strings do you use?
Interesting!
To have a better notion of the whole question, I would like to know what is the distance between you thumb and your pinky (fully stretched).
Rewatching this video, and just wow! Such strength behind the guitars tone; a muscular display of workmanship. The second you hit a string I felt the pop hit my face. Voluminous, focused, and clear in resonance making its presence known in gracious manner with expressive intensity and cutting attitude.
I can only imagine what this fine instrument sounds in real life.
Better start saving up lol.
everyone has to have the armrest now don't they? it's become a signal of quality, anything built without one is just too cheap…I must glue something onto my Paco Castillo 205
