Player Reviews:
"Every Milburn we see is impressive. They are consistently powerful, articulate and responsive. This guitar is very expressive and easy to emote with. Moving the right hand evokes an array of colors and the dynamic range is superb. Just wonderful." - Paul Heumiller
"This guitar surprised me as soon as I played the first note. The strings are evenly balanced and the third string sings out clearly without any of that "tubby" sound that is sometimes a problem on classical guitars. I would highly recommend this instrument to any player." - Al Petteway
