Player Reviews:
"Sergei is amazing Luthier with over 40 years of experience. You can hear his passion for guitar in the voice of this one, it's magical. Very balance and even on every fret. The Brazilian is gorgeous and the Bearclaw Spruce has very rare symmetrical figure. A superb de Jonge guitar." - Paul Heumiller
"What a nice, focused tone this guitar has. It's very much like a steel string classical guitar in that respect. I like it's clarity and balance. " - Al Petteway
