VERY LOUD D-15. (Great for Bluegrass) Has nice low end punch. Very tall saddle for great volume.
This has aged for 10 years and has no cracks or repairs. This guitar was purchased 10 years ago. It was played at the kitchen table a half dozen times and then detuned and put away. Its still got the orignal strings (need changing) and all the hang tags. This is an all solid woods guitar and not the cheep plywood model.
NOTICE THE SMOOTH GRAIN FREE TOP AND BACK ( NO NASTY LOOKING STRIPES) LIKE SOME OTHERS HAVE.
THIS IS TRUE SOLID MAHOGANY NOT SAPPLE.
