Sound Pure's Take
We'll take these all day long! Some really, really great thinking (both tonally and aesthetically) went into dreaming up this fantastic dreadnought. We love how simple and elegant the appointments are--the Madagascar binding, black rosette, fossilized ivory nut and saddle (to name a few!) just invite the eyes to take in the sheer quality of the top, back and sides. Tonally, this hoss is big, dry, and direct--you just can't beat Addy and the highly precious Sinker Mahogany for that. The previous owner obviously played this guitar into the open-voiced condition it's in today at the cost of only a couple of dings on the back. No surprise there--if this Custom Shop magic doesn't make you want to lean in and pick a few, nothing will!
