This is a bright, clear and punchy Hoffman Concert Guitar crafted from Australian Blackwood and Adirondack Red Spruce. These two woods are known for their power and brilliance. The Adirondack Red Spruce provide a ton of headroom so you can drive this guitar as hard as you like. But it's also strong when you play soft and versatile enough for many styles. The rosewood bindings are elegant beside the golden hue of the Australian Blackwood and fine details like the pyramid bridge, slotted headstock and florentine cutaway add beauty and value to this fine instrument by Charlie Hoffman.

Player Reviews:
"This is a powerful concert from Charlie Hoffman guitars. Adirondack gives it power and the Australian Blackwood makes it ring like a bell. It's upgraded with the slotted headstock, pyramid bridge and cutaway and just old enough to really begin to speak. A played in Adirondack top is a wonderful thing...." - Paul Heumiller
"A beautiful instrument with clear mids and nice separation. Perfect for fingerstyle or flatpicking." - Al Petteway
