I was sort of hesitant because they are made in Korea, but to be honest, the craftsmanship equals anything I’ve played made in the US. I had never gotten a maple guitar before and I really like the tone. Since I fingerpick with my bare fingers, the additional brightness and clarity is very nice. You just have to get one in your hands and try it somehow. You’ll be hooked.

Cons – (I hate to even mention them)
I noticed two VERY small imperfections. There appears to be a tiny crack in the finish on the neck and an equally tiny imperfection in the finish near where the neck meets the body.
Pros –
Looks – The finish looks absolutely amazing. The wood grain pops from every angle. The decoration around the sound hole is simply beautiful and the photos do not do it justice – you really need to see it for yourself. The guitar even smelled great as I opened the case.
Sound – Once I tuned up and started playing, I immediately noticed that this guitar has a strong and punchy mid-range. I would consider this to be a very well balanced guitar. As I played more chords and leads up and down the neck, I found myself pleasantly surprised by the sounds I was getting. The sounds that this guitar makes are truly inspiring.
Feel – The finish and the fretboard both feel great on my hands. The neck is a bit chunky, but has a very comfortable shape. I have medium sized hands (5’10” male), and if my hands were much smaller, I might not like the size of the neck. However, it still leaves me enough space to be able to wrap my thumb around to the low E string if needed.
Value – Andrew White does some SERIOUSLY good sales. If I picked this guitar up without knowing what it was, I would guess it was a $2000+ guitar. I paid only a fraction of that and got some really great goodies on top of that. This guitar sounds just as good, but different, than my Taylor acoustic – but the Taylor, which was also a great deal, STILL cost twice as much!
Verdict – if you’re on the fence, just buy this fricken guitar. This is an AMAZING guitar for the price.

Josh Lucas –
Best innovations since Bob Taylor. Great guitars start with great design. Hats off to Andrew White.
Josh Lucas –
Playability and beautiful voices out of the box is unmatched in the industry. The beautiful voices are attributed to Andrew’s unique designs. I’ve been to Andrew White’s shop in Morgantown, WV and was very impressed with his innovations, attention to detail and quality. The Andrew White line builds hand made features and innovations in a production guitar that will not disappoint you. It is good to do business with a really good person at the top of his profession.

I love Andrew Whites guitars. At present, I have two, Freja and a Cybele. I think Andrews work just needs to become better known, and once they are, a larger, more vocal fan club will emerge. Workmanship is top drawer.
