Player Reviews:
"Brian Cohen is a luthier who runs a prominent string shop in the UK as well. So he has seen many of the world's finest instruments over the years and builds from an informed position. A moment of playing on this guitar and you know that it is world-class in tone and playability. It's exquisitely crafted from top to bottom and employs the rare Brazilian Gumbixare wood for it's body. While it's appearance is that of flamed Maple, it is more rich in voice and has a deeper color and texture. It's stunning. This guitar is based on the Hauser design and clearly incorporates Brian Cohen's deep experience as a luthier." - Paul Heumiller
"This is a wonderful sounding instrument with clear highs and lows. The balance is perfect and it's loud to boot." - Al Petteway
