Player Reviews:
"African Blackwood is proving to be an amazing tonewood that fits perfectly into a collection with Brazilian and other fine woods. It has a character all it's own, rich smooth midrange and a slightly mysterious quality that I love. This guitar has it, superb tone and plays like a dream." - Paul Heumiller
"I like this guitar. The size and design make it perfect for fingerstyle playing, although I can see this as an all-around instrument." - Al Petteway
