Player Reviews:
"Charlie Hoffman has been building and repairing since the 1970s, during this time he has built a reputation as one of the true master builders. The pictures tell of how beautiful this guitar is, but let me tell you the tone is equally stunning. Charlie always gets nice, full trebles, something I love, and the overall voice is balanced and strong. Someone is going to love this guitar. " - Paul Heumiller
"This is a gorgeous guitar to behold - from the Cocobolo back, sides, headplate and fingerboard, to the Bearclaw Sitka top and koa trim. The sound is clear and rich with great balance. It's also very easy to play" - Al Petteway
