Description
What makes this guitar special: A huge sounding R9 with a heavily aged vintage look and superb playability. The wide rounded neck profile is comfortable as can be, and affords the player effortless maneuverability up and down the length of the beautifully variegated rosewood fingerboard. The hide-glue construction ensures that the set-neck solid wood construction is as resonant as possible, and the heavily aged look is extremely well-done, give this piece looks that are as in-your-face as it’s tone. It comes professionally setup and inspected by our expert in-house luthier, ready to rock right out of the case.
