    I used to perform professionally and used the best guitars I could afford. This year, I had a very big tax return. I went to the Guitar Center and pretended that I was going to buy a new guitar. There it was, the guitar I had wanted for so long. I put a guitar strap on that I brought from home so I could try, really try to play it. The sound was more robust than I had expected. It sounded good, strumming, flat picking, and finger picking. I bought it on the spot, took it home, and had a hard time putting it down. It looks beautiful, feels beautiful, and sounds better than I could have ever expected. Took it to the next practice with the guys, but I ould not let them even touch it. Our next performance was a positive for me. If you have to sell a kidney, get one of these.

    This is my forever guitar. The rosewood tone wood produces a beautiful full voice. The action was fantastic right out of the box and the cut away takes it to the next level. The overall build exceeded my expectations.
