Fretboard Workshop - May 2015 - Ex. 10

Subdued style takes nothing away from the feel and function of this future-leaning, performance-oriented flattop.

Excellent build quality. Player port provides an intimate playing experience. Super-smooth and inviting playability.

Some traditionalists may find the midrange-forward voice brash. Player port will be one style compromise too many for some.
