David Anthony16th Nov 2018

The best guitar I ever bought. Incredible tone and playability. Also next day delivery was impressive.

Trusted Customer21st Oct 2015

Far exceeds my somewhat mediocre talent. An absolutely beautiful instrument.

Trusted Customer2nd Sep 2015

Guitar arrived faultless apart from a bit of fret buzz. The strings it came with were too light though so I've changed them and made some adjustments to the saddles. Plays perfectly now.

Trusted Customer14th Aug 2015

Very pleased with the quality of the guitar, as expected.
