AAA grade sitka spruce, solid blackwood back and sides. AP5 pick up.
one piece queensland maple neck,abalone block inlay,satin nitro cellulous finish Very pretty, look like a vintage guitar. it look similar to martin 00028EC, but without the rosewoods.
the blackwood is flamed, so it look like a 3D hollogram. this is the most beatiful guitar i've ever seem.

the AAA sitka spruce, and small body shape definetely give out a warm and sweet sound. very balance and stable... it can stay in tune for a long time, which i'm very impressed about, cause too lazy to tune it. it is bright and have nice trebles.

this is my second guitar. i was comparing it to a martin 00016gt before i got it. but i think the 16 series martin is no match for this guitar.if it is lost i'll definetley get another one, but i don't think it will be as beautiful as this one. since i've looked at other more expensive blackwood guitars. but none of them is as beatiful as mine. this is a nice guitar for jazz and finger-picking. It is definetly a guitar for life (my life). my next guitar will be a martin D28 or a J40. Better the skill, better the guitar.
