Player Reviews:
"An awesome Charis in premium woods. Madagascar and Cedar unite for a rich, full voice. It's very easy to pull a lot of sound from this guitar with little effort." - Paul Heumiller
"Charis guitars have a nice emphasis on the midranges frequencies that works well with fingerstyle playing. They are very similar to Olson guitars in style and sound quality, but not at the same level of cost yet. " - Al Petteway
