Player Reviews:
"18 years of maturity on a Spruce top creates something special. You need only play one chord on this LaPlante guitar to hear why Spruce is becoming more and more sought after on concert guitars. This one can do anything you ask of it." - Paul Heumiller
"This guitar has a clear, bell-like voice and it's very loud. The wide, flat neck profile will appeal to many. This one has that mature spruce energy and power" - Al Petteway
