Overview: These exceptional concert instruments combine
northern European traditional tonal beauty with the quick response and
laser-like projection of the most successful, innovative contemporary
guitars.
The
first string of these guitars is powerful, round and clear, firm, even, and very
quick and alive - as are its second and third strings. Their deep
resonant basses are rich and firm, perfectly in balance with their
treble counterparts. Both very musical and very powerful, these player
friendly, world class, concert instruments have a highly appealing warm,
creamy, very smooth signature sound and a wide palette of color and
attack. Each note is like a polished jewel. Playability is excellent
offering one of the easiest actions and neck contours around. The
exquisite visual beauty of these instruments, of course, speaks for
itself. (
