Player Reviews:
"David Taylor of DT Guitars has a real eye for beauty and craftsmenship skills that are superb. Players like Muriel Anderson use his instruments and this one is a real honey. I love Koa paired with a softer top and this Redwood is sublime. It tames the edge Koa can sometimes have and give this one true beauty in the voice. It plays like a dream will no doubt be a long time friend for some lucky player..." - Paul Heumiller
"This guitar has a special warmth that I don't hear that often. It must be due to the combination of Redwood and Koa. Just beautiful." - Al Petteway
"A redwood top and Koa sides and back give this lovely guitar a cushy warmth that's very comforting, and the top port lets the sound envelope you as you play. This is a nice strummer for the player who wants to push a guitar without getting any harsh overtones. Fingerstyles work extremely well too. " - Al Schlimm
