Bought new in 1996 in Hong Kong. Superb tone that has just improved with age. A manageable dreadnaught shape and excellent neck. This is "my" guitar when I'm writing or jamming. Amplified it sounds amazing. I love the "pop up" controls too which I've not seen elsewhere. Odd attributes - sturdy enough for heavy 13s and equally responsive with light strings, body is superbly percussive (if you like all that) and lastly the finish is superb when lit and unlike many other acoustic instruments I own the 1105 finish glows. Mine has over 20 years of use now and despite the odd ding and dent still gets admired and requests to borrow (I don't! Do not ask)
