The body wood of this guitar sets the tone with it's sapwood center and side purfling created by mother nature. Hiro added an elegantly bound fingerboard and his stunning headstock which incorporates and front and back plate with mitered 'frames' on the sides. He clearly learned from Ervin Somogyi how to make special instruments. You really hear the lineage when you play this guitar, huge Somogyi-style bass response and absolute bell-like trebles.

Player Reviews:
"If you wish you bought a Somogyi years ago before his price was $25,000 than you need to listen to this guitar. Hiro honed his craft in Ervin's shop and it shows. From the elegant cosmetic details, and there's many, to the big, open voice, the Somogyi lineage is clearly present. We love this guitar!." - Paul Heumiller
"The size of the body makes this guitar a killer guitar for flatpicking. It's loud and clear and can take whatever you dish out. On the other hand it's sweet and sparkly when played fingerstyle. It's a good all around instrument for someone looking to buy a handmade guitar that will do everything and do it well." - Al Petteway
