I took a chance buying this guitar online,I was cautiously optimistic.When the box arrived I patiently waited 24 hours to open and examine it. Well I was pleasantly surprised by the look and feel of this fine instrument. It was absolutely beautiful and picking it up it felt solid in my hands. Then the first test,a G chord followed my a G run,wow!! I couldn’t believe my good fortune in this purchase. A guitar built so solid with solid tonewoods and at the prices,unheard of. I actually can’t wait for it to age a little and it will open up more. Since that day I check the web site and drool over some of the other offerings. I don’t know how long I can hold out.
