Sound

The rosewood body combined with the sitka top provides sound and resonance comparable to any Martin or Guild costing twice as much. Playing in an intimate coofee shop or in a church the sound projects out cleanly and clearly, most impressive.

Features

The wide neck makes the instrument a dream to play for fingerstyle and with the v-shaped neck you are able to get ample strength into compressing the strings against smooth frets.
