US-made (Winston-Salem NC) all solid wood acoustic guitar, small bodied (13.75" lower bout) but full scale (25.5"), 12 frets to the body, plus a zero fret. This one has a spruce top and Guyanan Rosewood (same as Brazilian) back and sides. It is an unusual guitar - 3" sides, pinless bridge, thick wood rosette, no binding, top bracing is a type of inverse A-frame or elongated X. Very basic little guitar. Single slot top with gotoh-type side tuners.

Remarkable full and complex tone. Strong on mids and bass.
Action, Fit, & Finish
:

Thin and uneven finish, many minor imperfections in the construction such as gaps, marks, rough wood. However it plays quite well, the fret job is OK. Intonation is very good.
Reliability/Durability
:
No Opinion
It's a basic parlor type guitar, already a bit rough round the edges!

No problems as yet, but as I am in Australia I would not get back to the maker, rather I'll get a luthier friend to look at a few issues - no big deal.

I have lots of other guitars, including high end ones. I bought this because I like small bodied guitars and travel guitars. It fits that need. A really unusual, rough in parts but very toneful little guitar. I am enjoying playing it.
