Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Very Good (some light finish wear)
This ER2 is absolutely speaking to my soul! The lightweight and curvaceous body are as comfortable as can be and bring an unmatched sense of calm when playing. The acoustic properties are authoritative and demand your attention from the first note. The top end is bright and balanced and the Ebony board just brings the perfect amount of action to any fingerstylist trying to add a little attack to a warmer sound. The El Rays are causing commotion and there's no wonder why after our first encounter with these.
