The sound of this guitar is warm and deep . The various woods that are used in the construction really highlight each other and make for a simple yet beautiful guitar. I have played other acoustics but none better than this workhorse of a guitar. The action is just about right for an acoustic maybe a little on the high side but not much.

If the action where a couple of hundredths of a millimeter lower it would be perfect. There some amount of checking that has occurred but of course that is due to my hurry to take it out and play it. It does give it that "I' ve been around look" though.

It is a beautiful well made guitar. The spruce top and mahogany sides are first rate and provide an excellent contrast to highlight the natural beauty of both woods. It has a rosewood fingerboard and Gison deluxe tuners. Right now I am using Gibson J-200 phophor bronze light strings. Everything about this acoustic is first rate in a simple play me and you will like it sort of way. The hard shell case that came with it has held up well even though it has obviously been around the block once or twice.

With increased air volume inside the body and reduced brace mass, the solid spruce top is capable of producing a substantially wider range of tonality than its predecessors. Combine this with a solid Bubinga back and sides, mahogany neck, rosewood fingerboard, and active transducer, and you've got one full-bodied acoustic guitar. Mother-of-pearl floret inlays, an abalone rosette, and a sculpted pickguard and bridge complete the picture as a pleasure to play and an honor to own.
