What's Hot
CastroCastro Frets: 509
edited September 2020 in Acoustics £

Can't afford a handmade mahogany guitar made from 'The Tree'? Nor me! Well....Quilted Sapele is not too far removed from mahogany and just look at the figuring in this expensive set.

This fantastic 12 fret guitar has sweet tone, great balance, full bass, rich and complex mids and clear trebles. 

You won't be lacking in bass response thanks to a slightly larger lower bout than a typical parlour.

Nicely played in and in brilliant condition except for a small mark on the bridge (see photo).

    Very Tree-like mahogany indeed, and I love the subtlety of the fretboard inlays and the truss rod cover! Classy instrument, GLWTS.

    Good to see this go to a great Fretboarder, would have loved it myself, could neither justify or afford it though :)
    Keep me in mind if you do ever want to move it on @Sputnik , I might be in a better position some time down the line =)
