Sound

My style is very agressive,I play lots of rhythims. The sound is full and very well balanced all the way across the fretboard. tone and volume is a bit reserved, but I know that with time the Spruce top will open up. When it is plugged in the sound is very loud very true. The (COOL TUBE) system is the best i've ever heard. That was an unexpected bonus for me.
Action, Fit, & Finish

The set up was great but I had to have it raised a bit because I was making it buzz when I got real agressive and used a pick. Honestly the fit and finish is flawless. I tried hard to look for something wrong and could not. Beautiful guitar as I would expect for $3200.00 retail

I been playing a long long time. I have two other Classicals and three Steel string Acoustics. I tried a lot of Classicals especially the Spanish ones, but they all lacked something. This guitar put it all together very nicely. I love the fit and finsh on this guitar it is a work of art, the sound is great.
