Sound Pure's Take

Beautiful work from Canadian builder Peter Hopkins!  The imposing silhouette of this guitar is a bit deceptive--big in sound, oh yes, but far more nimble and lively in terms of playability and response than one might expect from a guitar of this size.  The stately, airy acoustic response fills the room but reveals complete clarity and a wonderful sensitivity that will showcase every nuance implied on the part of the player.  Amplified, that native acoustic tone is still front and center.  An absolute delight!  Call us up before this fantastic deal on a one-man shop instrument gets snapped up!
