I own BABiCZ LTD #1 in Brazilian rosewood & it is a visually stunning guitar,not only does it look great but the sound is so rich & full it's almost pianistic in its tone individual notes are not muddled up in chords.& it'll go from a whisper to thunder !And the action feature really works,you can go from low electric action to slide action with a twist of the allen wrench @ first I was skeptical but it does what it says it does & stays in tune!I really cant find anything bad to say about this guitar(O.K.,theLTD's are big bucks but you are getting the finest materials available & it is handmade.But I also own an "Identity" Jumbo & an Accute Jumbo cutaway these are imports with Indian rosewood,when I went to see John Hammond @ Bodles Opera House in Chester N.Y. about 2 months ago I broke out my "Identity" Jumbo for him to sign & when I handed it to him he said "Wow Brazilian!"(nope) ,anyway he started to play & he got that "Guitar Smile" I wasn't going to miss a chance so I improvised some blues lyrics & the more he played the bgger the smile got & he said "You've got one nice guitar!" and graciously signed it.I asked him to leave some good on it ,but thats up to me to do.

I play various styles acoustic rock,fingerpickin,blues ,world& the BABiCZ fits the bill for it all.Ive played or heard just about everything & the nice thing is the imports sound almost as good as the LTD'sThese are not just for an elite few ,they are well within the range of almost anyone.All BABiCZ guitars I've encountered feel like they were made for me.The sound is quite powerful & clear & even nonmusicians have cmmented on the great sound

Reliability/Durability

These guitars went on a 2 week roadtrip in a N.Y. summer(notorius for extreme heat & humidity)I played an important show on AM radio as well as an FM broadcast that was streamed worldwide via the net & shows in between,I play very aggressive & an inferior guitar couldn't have cut it , I barely had to tune them,I believe these guitars can handle anything & I've never set foot onstage so confident in any instrument
