Charlie Hoffman has been making guitars for 30+ years and was a mentor to James Olson early in his career. Charlie originated the five piece neck design that he and James use on their guitars. Charlie's workmanship is also at the same high level as are Olsons. Charlie makes one of the best Koa guitars as anyone and has some of the best Koa up here in tropical Minneapolis.
This instrument is a new Grand Concert with the finest grade AAAA Koa and master grade Adirondack Spruce top. It's loud, very resonant, warm and woody with ringing, shimmering highs, big, focused bass and powerful, complex midrange. Adirondack, which is brilliant, complex and woody, on Koa is a first rate tone wood combination.
This is a first rate all-around guitar but excels for fingerstyle with its loose, fast action. Hoffman's are the good stuff.
