Sound

This guitar is suitable for all types of music where a flat-top may be played.
Incredibly loud and full sound - Louder and better sounding than any other guitar in my experience
I like everything about this guitar. I dislike the fact that I cannot afford to buy a second or third.
Action, Fit, & Finish

The guitar has been and still is utterly flawless after more than 20 years of hard playing. Save for weather checking which is a natural part of aging and a result of use in a cold dry climate.

I've been playing since 1968. I own a closet full of vintage Martins, Gibsons, and Epiphones (New York). If it were stolen or lost, I would have to sell a few Brazilian Martins to purchase another, and I would!!
If I had to order it again, I might order it with some of Grits world famous inlays
