Sound

Now i play solo Acoustic, i have a Martin, and i like this More, the sound Pumps out Crisp / Clean . 1 of the loudest Acoustics ive played, i really have to sing to get over it if no PA,and if im in a Cafe doing my thing i just use vocals through the PA , Impressive
The Fishman has to be turned down as it cranks the sound out when going through my PA , plus dont have to adjust the EQ on it(left in middle) as it needs no Low , mid or High extra for me, its Perfect.
Action, Fit, & Finish
:
No Opinion
it was Made for me they must have known how i play,, action was Perfect, it Looks gr8. Dunno if mines the same as others but the grain in the wood is excellent and finished really well, A1

Ive used it live aand it stands up to the task well, i havent hit anyone with it yet or thrown it but ITS SOLID and will last, I have used it without backup and will again, a string broke once and i had to use my Martin during a gig, But i wanted it back as soon as the string was put on it , I prefer it Now Definatly ....
Ok So it had only 1 strap Button(whats the go there) when i got it But i put an Extra on it so thats Ok now

been playing 20 yrs now, owned Martin's , Gibson's , Fender's , Maton's , Ovation's , Takemine Geee's Lots, You can never have enough Guitars, and ive sold most of them(to buy others) This 1 Nope.. Sn# 040607007 i put that in as im shit at keeping records of things and if some 1 Stole it, 3 things.
1, i could come here to get the Number
2, Id hunt down and Kill the idiot that stole it, as Id know it was mine.
3, I could go to Garrison and ask to make me 1 Excatly the same..
Funny thing is , i went into the shop to buy a $2000 Col Clarke Acoustic and Fred who works there said ""try this 1, think you will like it" And i liked it, it sounded/ felt better and was 1/2 the price.. Don't believe me, GO TRY 1 for ya self ,,,
Whoooo hoooooo thanks Garrison...
