“This guitar is a very beautiful instrument and an impressive work of art. The Myrtlewood trim against the rosewood and the amber top works perfectly. All the fancy inlay work was done expertly. It plays effortlessly, and sounds great, unlike anything I’ve heard.” Joe L – NJ

“I just played the guitar for the first time!!! It sounds INCREDIBLE!!! I knew it was gorgeous on the pictures, but a photo doesn’t do it justice. The neck is beyond comfortable and the custom pickguard is absolutely perfect! The action and tone are flawless. Thank you all so much, I love it!”– Grace Constable

” I must say that I am really happy and sad right now. This little Parlor is driving me crazy. I am playing probably 60% more than I usually do and I am busy, so I am not getting much done…. thanks for creating such a wonderful instrument. – Gordon Rankin, WaveLength Audio

“Christine, it’s….blowing me away!! My god the neck feels like an extension of my left hand and the box is waking up really nicely. It’s inspiring yet sonically challenging to play which makes for a really musical experience. What more can I ask for…” – Grant Dubbe

“I just want to let you know that the guitar is here and it is OUTSTANDING!!!!! My heart beats faster when I play it! But unfortunately I sold it within the first week! The tonal characteristics are just amazing, especially on the B and high E string! Never heard this from a Dreadnought! Congratulations to your whole team! Keep on doing this!!” – Oliver Waitze – New Acoustic Gallery in Germany

“I’ve played the guitar about three hours now since late yesterday afternoon. The tone is bright, clear and very well balanced. Exactly what I wanted from a mahogany dread. I’m extremely pleased with the tone and play-ability! The custom neck came out great. The guys did a great job with the modern c shape. Going to 23/32 was big. Hard to imagine that the tiny move smaller is so noticeable but it is and it fits my hand perfectly. The guitar capos better than all my other guitars. So many get muddy up the neck, but this one is just like the 43 D-28 I had. Awesome! Here’s something I have never experienced before, the guitar stays in tune. I’ve even gone in and out of a drop D several times and it’s still in-tune after three hours of play time and I have a a heavy hand. How does that work? Balance up and across the neck is about as good as it gets. The 13 and 17 are loud and clear, but don’t have piercing or harsh overtones….” – Eric O from Colorado

The guitar came early yesterday. I had high expectations, but honestly it just looks and sounds so amazing. Somehow it manages to be bright and punchy, while also having a piano like sustain. Just wow. I can’t wait to see how it evolves and changes. Simon the inlay is incredible. Thanks again for all the communication during the process. Y’all are doing great work. Keep it up!! – Chase C
