Overview: Possessing even stronger
fundamental tones, greater sustain, evenness and projection than his
previous concert guitars, Greg Byers' innovative double fan, all wood,
lattice braced guitars represent a further refinement to his classically
beautiful traditional musical sound. To learn more technical

American classic, the Byers guitars that we have been privileged to
offer have had a sparkle and focus which are quite special.
One
of only a few American makers to achieve international acclaim, Greg
Byers handcrafts a concert guitar which is unusually responsive to a
player's every artistic demand. His guitars possess outstanding power,
separation, evenness, and clarity, as well as exceptionally accurate
intonation, and superb workmanship. They also have one of the easiest,
most comfortable neck and action set ups around. Concert guitars of
great power, beauty and projection, they have rich colorful very solid
trebles (including an unusually quick, singing first string), deep
'cello like basses, and in the case of his cedar top guitars a clean,
warm, in dark sound overall. (
