  • Comments:

    The first thing that strikes you is the beauty of the details and the simply outstanding high level of David Rouse's craftsmanship as shown in the rosette and purflings for example. This is a standard of British luthery to be very proud of.
    This guitar is very comfortable to play and has a pleasing feel and balance about it. It has good depth of bass, a strong centre and a clear, projecting treble. Obviously very new, it starts with a pleasing fullness of tone throughout and great promise for opening out into a fine instrument.
