Player Reviews:
"Adirondack lovers, this is YOUR TOP. Just look at the perfect grain with no runout at the edges. This is very well quartered indeed and as a result you get incredible tone. The top is also alive now and giving it's all. Randy is one of our favorite makers for a truly vintage tone and feel and this guitar has it in spades." - Paul Heumiller
"This is one of the best Martin style dreadnoughts you'll find out there. What a joy it is to play." - Al Petteway
