Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I've owned this model for about eight months now and I love it. It offers a very rich tone, without being an overly bulky guitar. I find that some guitars that are less well-crafted rely on a very large, heavy bodied guitar that often proves unwieldy and lacking in nuance. This is a very gifted instrument that plays with you, not against you...and not in spite of you. It is very responsive and delivers the sound and expression you are trying to achieve.

Musical Background:

Playing for nearly fifty years -- professionally, for a while; personally, only, now.

Musical Style:

Folk-rock, country, Christian.
