Steve Helgeson of Moonstone Guitars has been making great instrument for a long time. This 000-12C cutaway is a superb example. Steve always manages to get a lot of tone out of every box he builds. This one is strong and full sounding. The trebles are thick and rich and the overall voice is very clear and articulate. It play like a dream and the cutaway provides full access to the upper register. This is a small body gem for the player seeking a big tone and a cutaway.

Player Reviews:
"This is a great 000. Much fuller than other guitars of similar size. I particularly like how the trebles are full and have weight, very rich and alive. I love it and can highly recommend it. " - Paul Heumiller
"This is a great fingerpicking guitar from one of my favorite builders. This guitar feels and sounds like a much older instrument. I could play this one all day and not get tired of it." - Al Petteway
