This is a beautifully made guitar from Charles Hoffman. It has the classic sound of an old 00-18, but the looks and playability of a much finer instrument. World famous inlay artist, Harvey Leach was commissioned to adorn the fingerboard with Christian symbols inlaid in Silver and Gold, making this a one-of-a-kind find.
