Player Reviews:
"This is simply one of the best guitars you can find in this price range. Dermot really loves music and is a great player in his own right and that makes him uniquely qualified to build great playing and sounding instruments. This one is amazingly clean, obviously well cared for by it's original owner who traded to us for a classical guitar. This one plays very easily and has a strong voice that really can do it all, fingerstyle, flatpick or strum." - Paul Heumiller
"If you like Lowden guitars, you'll like this one. It's got the same strong projection and bright, clear tone. The woods and construction are wonderful." - Al Petteway
