Bought new from AJL by Adrian Holovaty, received Dec. 15, 2009.

This guitar is beautiful. AJL puts it through an aging process so that it looks and sounds like an old instrument. It has biting trebles and solid mids. Overall the tone is very “woody.”

One interesting bit about it: AJL aged the neck so that it has a grayish color. It’s super smooth/comfortable to play, with a “worn-in” feel to it.

The guitar was at Django in June in 2010, 2011 and 2012. It was at Djangofest Northwest in 2012. It’s been played at many gigs in Chicago, including dozens at the famous Green Mill jazz club.

Adrian has recorded several YouTube videos with it, including:

Honey Pie:

Coquette with Adrien Moignard:

Django’s Tiger with Gonzalo Bergara:
