guitar report (Jan 76)

This is a very handsome instrument, flawlessly finished... a lovely responsive soundboard. Back and sides are Jacaranda, and so too is the scratch plate... the tone is warm, and held a promise of satisfactory maturity, and the treble sang out nicely... a good picker’s guitar... points scored 87 out of 100.
