        This is a 2004 model. Not too old, not too new. You can see the wood grain, the cherry-burst is reminiscent of the later 60’s early 70’s. She plays like a dream and is very full-bodied sounding. I especially love the pick-guard, fingerboard binding and trapezoid inlay on the fingerboard. The nut is even off white. And, the price was right. Feeling blessed.

          Blessed you are. That’s a beauty of a guitar and it sounded great in your latest recording. I only have five guitars total. Three acoustic and two electric and that’s all I got but still blessed to have what I have.

          Go slow and practice correct technique, and your abilities will dramatically improve.

            Seriously? That guitar is just too beautiful to even play. It’s a work of art.
