This guitar is the top-of-the-range model, with Brazilian rosewood back and sides. The label shows that it was made in Japan. This is a powerful, well-balanced guitar. The basses are full and deep. The trebles are clear and rich in harmonics. The tone is woody and expressive, with good polyphonic precision. A fine instrument to discover.
