What a revelation when I opened the case! My compliments to the luthier - it is a work of art and the attention to detail is stunning. I have not had a lot of time to play it yet but the first impression is amazement. It has a well balanced sound; the bass and treble are clear with neither dominant. The playing action is outstanding and what I found difficult to reach and hold on my other instrument was easy on this one. It really does look, feel and sound like a guitar three times the price.

I am still pinching myself - it really is a wonder that an instrument of this quality could be sold at the price. I feel sure that both you and the Franciscos will have difficulty meeting demand once the secret is out!
