***
There’s a lot going on with this guitar, which at one look is unconventional. It has an arm bevel, which is always nice, along with a scoop cutaway. There is also a side sound port with an adjustable sliding door; it does provide for quite a variation in sounds depending on how much of the port is open. The materials used are top notch, including a nicely figured top and back and sides and tuners by Alessi. This is a great example of a Kasha-style guitar, and immediately eye-catching.
