Sound
|
Unbelievable sound on this guitar. I am experimenting with various string-makers and all sound very good. It gets used extensively in the studio and I mic it with an AT 4041, and sometimes double-track with a Fathead Ribbon. As fro variety, it can sound like a killer or a weeper. Just depends on what and how you want to play. |

Appearance

Nice to look at. The rosewood is a deep reddish color. The sitka is aging nicely. |

Components
|
The parts are all good and solid. As for standing out otherwise, the tone, clarity and volume. If you need to to project, over some other instrument, it's quite simple-just pick harder. |
