Sweet voice.

Cotton 08.06.2017

I have a collection of various brand guitars. I love the very unique voice that this guitar has. Unlike any other. Very sweet sound. Workmanship is spotless. Solid, quality electronics and mechanics. Playability is wonderful. Move across the fretboard with ease.

Soundi on iso tässä vehkeessä. Ei ihan Les Paul, mutta hyvin lähelle sitä. Erityisesti TV Jonesin kaulamikki on ihan omaa kuokkaansa.

A beautiful guitar. The quality of fabrication is excellent, ( much better than G....n !) Due to the chambered body the sound is very much as a semi-acoustic (Gibbo 335) and also makes the guitar very light and as I often play 3-4 hour sets with my bands this is an added bonus. During the first gig, when playing the guitar hard, I dislodged the top E and the bottom E from the bridge saddles which was annoying but have cured this problem by gently filing the slots in the saddles slightly deeper. ( I am a luthier and the guitar is now perfect in my opinion!) The only problem I have is that the posting on your site stated that the fingerboard (touche ?) was ebony when in fact it looks more like rosewood to me and I would have preferred the more tightly grained ebony.......a small point, but it does not spoil a great guitar. Many thanks. I.
