  Head & Neck - just the tiniest of superficial marks.

• Comments:

  From a maker that has for many years enjoyed a world-wide reputation, this is a rich, loud and penetrating concert guitar. On first playing, it is obviously powerful with warmth in the bass and brightness of treble. It also offers a quick right-hand response which many players on the competition circuit are looking for.
  So - a strong, professional level, concert instrument with luxury timbers, luxury decoration and fittings to attract performer and aficionado alike.
