***
This guitar does everything right in terms of bringing a satisfying sound and good playability, but it also comes with some nice aesthetic and technical details. There are gold leaf accents in the headstock, back, and tail; they are textured nicely and in relief, creating nice visual interest. The scalloped nut is also an attractive detail. The backstrip truss is a nice design touch, there to mitigate back creep over the years that can distort the body geometry. The material selection too is notable; a great choice with the Panamanian rosewood, a less usual Dalbergia, and with excellent grain and color. The top is also excellent, even grain and color, with no run out. This is a well-designed and thought out guitar, with all aspects considered.
