Killer guitar!
This is one exceptional vintage instrument. It has a beautiful, well-balanced tone and cutting power galore without being harsh. Very sweet sounding, just does everything really, really well. It is very responsive and easy to play. Light as a feather. Very distinctive looking, you'll never mistake it for anything else, and the condition is outstanding for an instrument of this vintage. Soundwise, it compared very favorably at Django in June to a vintage Busato and a vintage Di Mauro, both of which were very popular with campers and artists alike. There's really nothing to fault in this guitar and a lot to love.
