No apologies but I love this guitar first for it's looks....boy she's good looking! But when I first played her, I fell in love again. Easy low action and a quite pronounced bass which is really my thing. I wouldn't want to sell her and was quite emotional when I first played her.....she' all good!

Mine is of the most beautiful birds eye maple I have ever seen anywhere ever. Great action, wonderful projection and very bright sound. I recommend mixing strings to get better bass tone and depth. With that combination its superb!

My guitar sounds great with Phosphor bronze strings. Has a bright sound and plays wonderful. Several people admire it and wish to bu6 it from me. It’s not for sale! Added a Martin thin line pickup. This is my go to Acoustic 6 string.
