Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Excellent

There's just something about cherry. It's crisp, it's warm, it's harvested in North America. Somewhere in between Mahogany and Maple. Its earthy texture is all part of the allure. This addy top is as powerful as them come, too. Robin Boucher keeps the cream of the crop. This guitar is a breeze to play. You can run scales up and down the neck as easily as you can finger-pick in the first position. It's modern, but it knows it's history. You'll want this one. I sure do.
