Comments: "I've now played three of Simon's OM style guitars and all three were fantastic. This one has the tone that I look for in a fingerstyle guitar. It's rich and clear." - Al Petteway

"This Fay is gorgeous, we love the wood combination and it has real natural beauty. The voice is big and alive with Simon's usual wonderful presence and articulation. This one sold before it arrived. Another great Fay." - Paul Heumiller
