Sound Pure's Take
Tremendous OM! I love the pale, chocolate-y hue of this particular set of Madagascar Rosewood...it's a treat for the eyes and the ears! As many know, Madagascar Rosewood is about as close to it's coveted Brazilian relative as a tonewood can get. All the signs are here: improbable sustain, sparkling highs, deep, punctual lows and glowing overtones hovering above it all. But the slightly lighter Madagascar is also slightly more lively than Brazilian: the mid-range has more zip to it, highs can range from bell-like to whip-crack-like depending on your right hand temperament (the AAAA grade Adirondack top has something to do with that, too) and it generally just feels like a guitar that wants bounce and syncopation. Did I mention that it's louder than some dreadnoughts I've played? Whether you're playing a solo fingerstyle jazz set or tearing up a break in a string band, you'll be grinning ear to ear with this sweet, sweet guitar in your hands!
