Sound Pure's Take

Why did they stop making these?!  This is killer!  We've loved all the used Authentic series dreads we've taken in over the years and this medium-bodied relative is no exception.  Resonant, bone-dry, and separate from bass to treble; sweet and sensitive to close-fisted punchy in a moment.  This would be a -fantastic- instrument for recording but is certainly versatile enough to satisfy balladeers, ragtimers, and reelers alike.  The phrase "woody clarity" may not mean anything to you now but it certainly will after some time with this thing!
