Comments:
This is an immediately impressive Christopher Dean concert guitar; very handsome to look at, with superb quality materials and sound to match. The doubled sides perhaps are responsible for additional weight and strength of sound projection. The bass is warm and rich and the middle and trebles nicely-balanced with roundness and clarity. Typical of Christopher's much-admired instruments, this is a real opportunity to have one that has premium quality specification and in superb condition.

"Having known Miles for many years now I can say with some authority that dealing with him is a pleasure, due largely to my secure feeling that he, like me, has a genuine love of his subject. Over the years I have always been eager to hear feedback from both Miles, and his customers, and this has helped me greatly to bolster my own passion for the guitar and to refine my work ."
