Sitka Spruce Top | Indian Rosewood Back and Sides | Tropical Mahogany Neck | West African Crelicam Ebony Fretboard | Expression System® 2 Electronics | Venetian Cutaway

Bought in 2022 from Gruhn Guitars in Nashville.

Buttery playability, Near-perfect balance in all areas, Longest sustain in the game, and the best intonation you can get out of an acoustic. 

  • What sold me immediately was its playability being the smoothest/butteriest I've ever experienced. It has a very gentle and expressive touch. 
  • Another thing that sold me was its near perfect intonation. When playing in the high register above the 12th fret most guitars have trouble with lots of intonation issues, but this high register is where this guitar shines because of the quality of its V-class bracing.  
  • Lastly the note sustain is the best I've ever played or know of. With fresh strings it's about 10 seconds long which is unbelievable. This combined with its near-perfect high register intonation and balance creates an opportunity for a sound that no other guitar can produce. 

The only reason I'm selling is because I am looking for a deeper & less balanced tone. Also sounds very bland/dull/lifeless when plugged in to PA or interface without DI box/ EQ/ compression pedal. So I'd recommend getting one if you're playing live or recording w/ DI.
