Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Excellent (scattered finish checking, as is consistent with a thin, high quality lacquer finish)

Wow.  Nothing short of extraordinary--the kind of quality that just can't be questioned.  Drawn directly from the D'Angelico bible, this X-braced, 17" masterwork from Bryant Trenier is as intoxicating and chatter-silencing acoustically as it is amplified.  Deeply rooted in the sound of the first half of the 20th century, the impeccable construction and effortless playability give this model wings for past, present, and certainly future explorations.
