2010 Blanchard Sugar Pine Madagascar/Italian
The sound of this beauty is very articulate and ideal for fingerstyle guitar. The workmanship is impeccable and the styling is elegant. I’m impressed by the clarity of the voice, and the precise separation of the strings. In DADGAD, chords which rely on barring bass strings can easily sound flumpy and vague, but on this Blanchard each note can be clearly detected. An entirely well-executed design. – http://www.dreamguitars.com/products/blanchard/blanchard_sugar_pine_107/blanchard_sugar_pine_107.php
