Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Very Good - our luthier reglued the bridge and re-seated the pickup in addition to a routine fret dress/setup

One of our favorite models from CM!  Truly a steel string that achieves the drama and intimacy you'd expect from a traditional classical guitar with all of the power and presence of a big ol' American flattop.  Wonderful overtones and overall complexity coming out of that Engelmann/EIR combo.  This would make for a rich, chorusy rhythm instrument just as well as it would an expressive, room-filling fingerstyle machine.

From Huss and Dalton Guitars

The Huss and Dalton CM model is perfect whether you are a songwriter needing an inspirational writing tool or a discerning finger stylist, or perhaps a blend of both. Though somewhat smaller than a dreadnought and with deep sides at 4-5/8", it really packs low-end warmth and response. The elegant design includes a soft Venetian cutaway, body and fretboard bindings of figured maple, an abalone rosette, and an understated 12th-fret scroll fretboard inlay in abalone. The Huss & Dalton CM will give you the full tonal spectrum, as well as the reach to achieve the most complex melody. Standard woods are Engelmann Spruce top and either Mahogany or Indian Rosewood back and sides.
