Sound	February 8, 2008 - Had the guitar setup and repaired at Luthiers as well as over all adjustment. The guitar is in superb shape and sounds awesome! Very powerful, I'm able to attack the instrument with ease. Gorgeous separation of voice, sweet and lyrical. Tony at Luthiers was very impressed with this instrument. I'm pretty sure that's hard to do. :-) May 2008 - Had fretwork done, nut and saddle adjustment, and general finish issues, including smoothing the neck. The guitar, as a result, sounds terrific and plays terrific. This is a player's guitar. I would keep this one and I will if no one is interested.
Projection	Very nice. Powerful. Really an amazing instrument. Extremely responsive.
Case	Guardian Hard or TKL Hard Case
Class of guitar	Concert instrument
Condition	Used - I took her to Tony at Luthier's NYC and he did a fabulous job of fixing her up. There are very smallish dings that I left alone because I didn't want to mess with the finish in any way. Nothing here affects its structural integrity. May 2008 - She plays superbly and looks much better as a result of the further attention given to this guitar. The guitar is fabulous and a wonderful buy for the money.
