Sound
The guitar has a nice balance and has a sparkling high. “The high and the middle and balance are at top level. The instrument gets exceptional in the very low. ” Gitaarplus
“As a tree seems to have led a good life! Yet it is the inlays of the three rings of the rosette, that attracts your attention. You do this not just for a moment. I can describe it as a work of art, but if you go to the photography looks, you discover it for yourself!
When I turn the instrument, I have to be careful, and need sun glasses. “
Nicky Moeken, Gitaarplus
