Player Reviews:
"Few builders impress me with every single one of their guitars, but Eric Monrad does. His build quality is exquisite, but more impressive is his tone. I'm sure it's because he's a great player himself that each of his guitars is first and foremost a tool for musical expression. The beauty and quality come after tone and make this guitar very special indeed." - Paul Heumiller
