Player Reviews:
"Birdseye Maple and Spruce make this Gutmeier guitar extremely beautiful, but the voice is what will captivate you. The Maple body excels at power and dynamic range with a wonderful energy behind every note. Great players always look for strong and lyrical trebles and they are found here in spades along with balance and articulation. There's nothing lacking in this guitar, I love it. " - Paul Heumiller
"The slightly smaller neck profile and width make this crossover a joy to play for someone like me who is used to a steel string. The tone is clear and defined with a real nice tonal balance." - Al Petteway
"I'm hearing nice balance, good projection, warmth, articulation... I like this guitar's dynamic response. The trebles can sound sweet or assertive, depending on your mood. The mids are rich, the bass is clear and punchy. I play a lot of samba and bossa and I like to indulge in jazzy improv. This guitar meets me there with no reservations. " - Al Schlimm
