This fabulous instrument was inspired by the Gordon Lightfoot and David Crosby signature models - both with Engelmann spruce tops and Mahogany back and sides.
It has a beautiful, responsive loud voice with great balance across the sonic spectrum. Play a string gently and it responds with a wonderful, open presence...dig in with fingerstyle blues or open tunings or flatpick, it takes anything you give it. After playing it you just shake your head in wonder with mouth agape. This is an amazing guitar...those Custom Shop dudes really know their stuff.
