REVIEWS
Feature:
Excellent tuners (Grover Rotomatics - mine has the presentation pearlwood buttons), rosewood back and sides, ebony fretboard, quality electronics, high-end inlay. I like the cutaway, I can get up on the neck. Beautiful and functional.

Quality:
very well made instrument. It appears as rugged as any square shoulder guitar I've seen. They could have used a more choice quad A spruce top. This one is grainy but it is definitely not a defect.

Value:
To me, the value is beyond the current retail price. I traded a Taylor K14C for this. Cost wasn't an issue for me. The other guitars I had been looking at were priced above this one.

Desirability:
It turns heads. Everywhere we've played It receives comments.

Sound:
Incredible tone. I played over two hundred guitars before I selected this one. Everyone who has heard it says that it is the best sounding guitar they've ever heard. All I did was pluck the D string while it was hanging on the showroom wall, and I new, this was my Gibson. 30 years ago I had a Dove stolen. This Guitar sounds as good as that one.

Support:
When I purchased it I knew it would need set-up (see ease of use). Where I bought it they wanted to charge for this. I took it to the factory service center and they did the fret work for free. I polished the frets and did the final fine tuning on the saddle.

Overall:
I'll keep this guitar til I die.
