Condition / Setup Notes
Excellent(+); The guitar remains in beautiful shape, with only the lightest wear that has to be searched for. Other than a slight indent by the right hand playing area, there’s nothing else to report. Currently playing nicely, with string height just below 6/64”-4/64” from bass to treble, and light relief.
***
It appears no expense was spared in designing this guitar. The first thing that may catch your eye is the striking cuts of Brazilian rosewood. The top too is a nicely selected set of Euro spruce, with no runout and good silking. A detail that will be appreciate by some is the EVO gold frets, no longer available, arranged in a multi-scale fan. Speaking of details, the Celtic theme engravings in the bridge bins and tuners add to a certain visual motif along with the rosette design. A beautiful guitar to look at, but plays and sounds satisfying as well, with the functional aspect of the multi-scale for alternate tunings or managing string tension differently.
