Vintage Aesthetic that combines Modern Personality

Lucky enough to snag this relic that truly exceeded expectations in terms of playability, sound and comfort. You can tell lots of thought has gone into the design and you get some of the best design ideas from other luthiers and brands on this guitar. This fanned fret design gives balanced equal tension on each string, which fits perfectly into your hand without adjusting your posture. It’s also a factor in the phenomenal tuning stability of the guitar as I play with extreme weather. Despite its obvious djenty shreddy application this is a very versatile guitar for some of my modern jazz applications. The cleans sound like big chimes, the rhythms are full and brutal but controllable as the Fishman pickups offer an endless amount of possibilities. This is the only 8 string that's easy for me to go between 6 string to 8 string without too much thought. If you have $3K+ to invest these instruments are true pieces of art and very inspirational to play.
