Description
What makes this guitar special? This is a well-built solid wood guitar with excellent character in both tone and look. The concert-size body may not have the volume ceiling of a dreadnought, but has a very dynamic response that’s perfect for fingerstyle playing and players who appreciate a well-nuanced delivery. The overall tone starts with a compressed low end, moves through a buttery mid-range and ends with articulate yet glossy highs. The rosewood’s figuring on the sides look straight and clean, yet the back is deep and lush in color and form. Tasteful additions like mahogany binding, a rosewood and mahogany rosette, and a mother of pearl headstock inlay gives this guitar a subtle but serious visual presence.
Condition: This guitar is in excellent condition overall. It does posses some light surface scratches throughout the body, most of which reside on the pickguard, but otherwise it is very clean and still looks fantastic. The frets show only light wear and still have a lot of life left in them. The neck is straight and the truss rod functions as it should.
