"Elegant" doesn't even begin to describe this guitar  It's truly regal  It has an effortless resolve that will make even the most complex passages pass like water under your fingers  The fretboard is its castle and the 100 master-grade Sitka top is its mighty woods  But its domain doesn't end there To the south lies a fortress of aged, quartersawn, big leaf, spalted maple.  The curly koa binding frames everything gently and the red purfling lends a striking touch worthy of a king's banner  The tone of this guitar is absolutely haunting  Truly wise beyond its years  Plugged through a warm tube amp you still retain all the glassy clarity of the overtones  Through a solid-state rig, you get a staggering picture of every square inch of this magnificent instrument  Playing it is an experience like no other  It's like being on an open desert road behind the wheel of a sportscar  The sound port is like an open window  And there's sweet music on the wind  Condition: Used, Excellent
