Sound Pure's Take
It can go LOW! What an amazing instrument. The 7th string really shows off the sonic depth of the Brazilian back and sides. The German top is complex, yet easy to control. The possibilities are endless! Whether you want to play some acoustic Jazz or experiment with some big open tunings, this hand-crafted, luthier-built marvel, will be sure to satisfy.

While most luthiers charge an arm and a leg for any Brazilian Rosewood back and side guitar, Graf keeps it within reach! And with how rare Brazilian Rosewood has become, it is a true investment to own a guitar with this exotic tone wood. Every year the price of this wood goes up. It's a true investment. It doesn't hurt that this guitat also plays and sounds good! Other luthiers would charge 3-4x more for a build like this.

From Other (Miscellanous Used/Vintage/Consign)
At the heart of my steel string guitars is an innovative bracing system that I developed in the early 80's and refined over many generations of guitars. It incorporates an additional curved bar intersecting the X-brace which allows me to adjust for each different style of guitar. This stiff and light top gives my guitars their characteristic solid but resonant feel, excellent sustain and projection. The influence of my classical guitars shows in the balance and clarity of sound. This is also echoed in the wood bindings and marquetry rosette which add to the distinctive look of my steel string guitars.
“…finger style playing, flat-pick style, open tunings etc… this guitar does it all… I have tried literally hundreds, if not thousands of guitars… [the Graf guitar] is absolutely the finest acoustic guitar I have ever heard or played. In fact it makes other guitars sound as if they're half full of water!”
