The sound of the guitar is really stunning. It has matured over the years – the guitar is super well-rehearsed. Here you simply get the vintage sound that you don’t have with new instruments.
At first the guitar has an incredibly long sustain and is incredibly assertive. The tones come through the rosewood, clear and detailed. It has strong and tight basses, balanced mids and brilliant highs. So everything a musician’s heart desires.
Due to its age and regular use, the guitar has some traces of use – traces of playing around the sound hole as shown in the pictures. The middle joint under the bridge opened a little and was closed again by the guitar builder.
