This guitar really shows what a good handmade guitar can do. Awesome sound! The tone is well balanced and acoustically very pleasing sounding to the ear. It is articulate with each note of the chord being heard and rings out baar chords like nobodys buisness up and down the neck. It is rich and powerful being extremely loud, really projecting its sound. It has eaten alive guitars costing several thousands of dollars more. Great sound!

I've been playing for close to 30 years. I have played hundreds of acoustic guitars looking for those special ones. I've owned several high end handmade acoustics. I am now in the process of selling some of the more expensive ones because this guitar blew them out of the water. I'm not a friend of Mr. Braces, he's in Canada somewhere and I'm in New Mexico, and I'm not just someone who leaves rave reviews, but this guitar deserves it. This is the second time I am having to leave feedback on this guitar as the first time Harmony Central did not get it posted, but this luthier deserves to have an audience of supporters; others need to find out about these wonderful guitars and if I have to submit this reveiw 100 times to get it posted I will, but I will allow a couple of weeks between each try. Awesome guitar! Worth every penny and then some!
