Sound Pure's Take

A 00-18V with...Rosewood?  Pure custom shop magic!  Vintage 18 style appointments meet with all the chimey, overtoney, bassy goodness a 28 style set of tonewoods offers.  This one's a player's guitar, to be sure (plenty of finish checking) but after a neck reset and complete refret from our luthier, you better believe this beauty is playing as good as or better than it was when it left the Pennsylvania in 2014.  Plays like a dream and offers more low end and richness than most instruments this size.  A lovable weirdo through and through!

 

Condition: Used, Good
