Sound Pure's Take
Stunning work from a luthier to watch! The sheer level of character in this guitar is hard to believe--unless you've done your research. Jake Robinson's attention to detail, superlative materials, and immaculately composed, forward-leaning designs are sure to continue to convert players worldwide. This particular piece is an absolutely tremendous fingerstyle instrument, though flatpicking will also bring out the clear, taut, bell-like voice that rings out from bass to treble. It's got this quality of sounding tightly-wound and powerful without exhibiting much of the brassy, green sound many new guitars, Addy-topped in particular, first give off. That's not to say it won't warm and open up with playing and time...it's only going to sound better! And I'll just say this about the Reserve Stock Brazilian--the rumors are true. Wonderful, wonderful things happen when you've got a tonewood that rings like a pane of glass even before it's shaped into the elegant form we have here. But we won't have it long! Call us up to find out more about this unique guitar of a lifetime.
From Other (Miscellanous Used/Vintage/Consign)
I make my guitars the old-fashioned way. I make them. By hand. One at a time, with highly figured Brazilian rosewood, koa and mahogany. Each with superior tone, fit and playability. A natural beauty you just can't get in a factory-made instrument. And options like exotic burl, fossil peg head inlays, unique binding and distinctive purfling. If you haven't caught on yet, these aren't the sort of instruments you smash on stage at the end of a show.
My guitars aren't for everybody. Truth be told, they're not for many people at all. You see, for most, an assembly line instrument is just fine. But the instruments I make are for people who are looking for something unique. True. Lasting. People who play and play and play. Have an ear for the subtle nuances only a handcrafted instrument can deliver. People who are happiest when there's a pick between their fingers and a guitar in their lap.
