PLAYING OVER 20 YEARS.GOOD ADVANCED STUDENT GUITAR,
DISLIKE THE TUNERS , PLAYABILITY AND SOUND ARE GOOD
I HAVE OWNED/OWN , BREEDLOVE, LARRIVEE, TAYLOR , RODRIGUEZ,
GODIN, PRS. THIS GUITAR WAS WELL WORTH THE MONEY I PAID ( WHICH IS BELIEVE WAS AN ABERRATION ) TYPICAL STREET PRICE IS $1200.00 WHICH i THINK IS HIGH. I WOULD NOT BUY ANOTHER IF STOLEN OR LOST ( WOULD
GO TO THE $2000.00+ RNGE DIFFERENT ANIMAL ) BUT I DO RECOMMEND IT
FOR EITHER A FIRST CLASSICAL/OR ADVANCE STUDENT.,

1999 model. Solid cedar top, solid mahogany back and sides, ebony fingerboard, rosewood headstock, heel and bridge. Tuning machines are of the cheap variety. Solid woods at this price? - has to be a high score.

This is where the guitar really shines. Full and rounded low end with no boom and sweet, bell-like, trebles.

Factory set-up spot on. Some sloppy areas, i.e. excess glue, on the purfling inside. Otherwise top-notch.

Great guitar. My usual electric is a Jackson Professional with active pick-ups/floyd etc so this is quite a different beast. Sounds good, feels good and plays good.
