Player Reviews:
"We literally search the world for 'Dream Guitars' for our clients. In Denmark we found Ole Kehlet. Having heard of his wonderful instruments we invited him to send us one. We were sincerely impressed and very happy to now represent Ole Kehlet Guitars. This first one is a beauty with presentation Grade Ziricote and clear, articulate voice with power to spare. Discover what recording artist Finn Olafsson has found in Kehlet guitars, maybe it's your voice as well? " - Paul Heumiller
"This one was a huge surprise. I had never played one of these guitars before. When I tuned it up and played the first chord, I was blown away. The sound really leaps out of the guitar and the notes are pure and sweet, much like a good classical guitar. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a top of the line steel string for fingerstyle playing of any kind. Then again, it sounds great strummed too." - Al Petteway
