Here we have a lovely 1993 Humphrey Millenium Concert Guitar. Gorgeous old-growth Brazilian Rosewood and Red Cedar form the body with it's distinctive Millenium shape. The elevated fingerboard and forward sloping top act to 'preload' the energy of the strings and create a very strong voice capable of filling large halls. This Humphrey Millenium has tremendous volume and dynamic range, and also yields soft, delicate phrases when asked. A superb example and a worldclass instrument in every way.
