Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Very Good
This Artisan has opened up beautifully from years of regular use. This fine boutique archtop guitar now exhibits a mature tone. It responds very well to changes in dynamics and has a remarkably even response from top to bottom. The tone is warm, woody, and complex.
This is a rare opportunity to own a well-maintained and incredible sounding piece from one of the world's most accomplished archtop luthiers! Call or email Sound Pure today for more details!
SP Luthier Notes: Partial refret, tailpiece crack repair, binding repair, buff, and setup
