I play mostly Bluegrass, thus the BR-160 is most suitable for my musical taste. It is an extremely loud guitar, being based on the exact design of Carter Stanley's personal guitar, a Martin D-28. Though mainly suited for bluegrass, the bright sound extends it's versitality into other genres as well.
Sound Rating: 9
The guitar was setup to the best of player's specification. I made minor modification myself, but that was to suit my individual needs.
Setup Rating: 9
Very beautiful guitar. Just simply beautiful wood in every aspect.
The two-piece back simply adds to the beauty of this instremunt as well as the abalone hexagonal inlay in the fret-board. Simply "breathtaking", I have been told.

I have had the guitar for a while now, and have had good luck with it- No finish wear, etc.
I think it is reliable enough to use on a gig w/o a backup.
