Let it rain, let it pour: this 2005 Petros Applecreek has opened up like a spring bed of tulips, and tastes about as sweet. Bruce Petros has access to some incredible woods, and it looks like he spared no expense in finding a deliciously flamed set of Koa for the back and sides, here paired with an amber-hued German Spruce top and Abalone appointments.
For the fingerstylist, this Applecreek Grand Concert is deadly: quick-playing neck and setup, trebles that cut well but don’t dominate the mix, remains lively and energetic in dropped tunings. Fit and finish are standard-issue flawless in the Petros style, with fossilized bridge pins and the curvaceous Petros headstock.
Responsive, effortless, and dynamic: the 2005 Petros Applecreek kills it.
Highly-figured Koa of this quality is becoming very scarce. It’s one of the woods that guitar makers covet now more than ever but simply cannot find. Bruce Petros has voiced this one perfectly so the brilliance of the Koa comes through but is balanced with depth and warmth. Like all Petros guitars, this one plays with ease and gives you a lot of sound with just a light touch. A sweetheart. | Scale Length | 25.5 in |
