Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Excellent
Every now and again a guitar comes in and provides a breath of fresh air to the shop. Our weary ears and hands found this guitar and were immediately revitalized! Perfect balance, a spacious neck, and top tier materials. The Adirondack top provides a strong clear fundamental, sweetened by the Brazilian Rosewood to provide a true treat for the ears.
This one is truly something special, it'll be bittersweet when it finds it's new home!
From Other (Miscellanous Used/Vintage/Consign)
I currently produce 3 models. The "OM" is based on the traditional Orchestra Model body style and is a very comfortable size and shape for most players. The "GS" has a slightly larger body, with a wider lower bout and deeper body profile at the neck joint. The larger body size of the "GS" provides a slightly more pronounced bass response. The "OO" is a small-bodied, intimate guitar with 12 frets to the body and a very sweet voice.
As far back as I can remember, music has been a defining dimension of my life. Having fallen in love with the guitar as a young child, it has since been a continual, central source of joy, comfort, and solace to me. My training has included the study of music, audio engineering, and guitar construction theory and techniques.
I have spent a number of years first as a performer, and later as a recording engineer. Over the past several years I have worked to integrate these experiences into my work as a luthier.
As a guitar player of more than 35 years, I am particularly sensitive to the physical experience of the instrument, and the inspirational effect that that it can produce. The ease with which the guitar facilitates access to exciting tonal possibilities defines the relationship between the player and the guitar. It is the mystique of a successful connection of this sort that is behind my love for the art of lutherie, and that drives my pursuit of perfection.
