"perfect for me"

Overall: 3.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
This is a unusual instrument, styled after the 50's Gibson ES-125. Not a"bluegrass" guitar, but more for rockabilly or old country or maybe jazz. It's light and lively but a little rough around the edges (fret work and finish detail). It sounds very cool for what I'm doing with it , Tom Waits, old blues and ragtime . It's perfect for me, but I know how to work with it.

Musical Background:
