Re: Virzi--What am I missing?
I've only heard one in person. It was a custom non Gibson F4 version that I got to hear from accross a small room for quite a while by a talented young artist back to back with my own 06 Goldrush. My Goldrush is the opposite end of the aperture variations with smaller F holes like the Lawson bound hole size. It's notes seem to pop out with short powerful burst in comparison with my own 23 F4's longer less fundamental more long sustaining blended sound. Anyway this difference in the virzi'd F4 was similar with the slight addition of a wavering similar to a singing human voice. It was very noticeable and I'm sure I could pick it out in a blindfold test. I have no idea how this one compared to others but it convinced me I wasn't a virzithingyphile.
