I have considered holding onto this guitar for future reference because there are so many qualities it possesses that I have worked so hard to achieve with this design. The sound has a great depth whilst maintaining a beautiful clarity. To me, this is something that is very difficult to achieve and while I used to be rather self conscious about brightness, time and time again I find that most guitars very muddy sounding and lose the intricacies of the music in larger venues. The character of a music just doesn't come through without that clarity. Some of that comes from dynamic playing, but it also comes from the instrument.
