This guitar is a work of art and a true masterpiece of lutherie. It displays aesthetic harmony and excellent taste. Many details are particularly eye-catching. The soundboard is made of cedar, and the back and sides, of fantastic Madagascar rosewood.

Its tonal quality is second to none and, combined with a considerable volume, makes this guitar a real gem. Second-hand, yet in excellent condition, this instrument shows only superficial playing marks, is perfectly set up, and is ready for any concert situation. This rare catch is a great chance to put your hands on a fully open concert guitar by this sought-after Australian luthier.
