The energy of the strings on this guitar is palpable—you can feel the history in every note. It’s clearly been well loved, and it still has many more years of music waiting to be played. 
It's a delight to have another one of Gerald's guitars in the shop. The GA body adds depth to the voice, and the Koa/Engelmann wood combo punches up the mids. Notes really pop and stand out; great note separation that feels organic rather than clinical. | Scale Length | 25.4 in |
