Edit: never saw it was a multiscale guitar

Interesting

 

[Deep Eddy]

Attention Taylor - time to sue.

 

[VoidTerraFirma]

That's kinda slick.

 

[Gary Blanchard]

At first glance it looks nice. As I see the sound port I begin to waver. Great eye candy, but not in my range of what I want in a guitar.

 

[Prages]

Looks nice enough. I've never really spent any time with an acoustic with a sound port, so I don't know if it really helps, or if it's a solution looking for a problem.

Yes, because no other acoustic company offers a Grand Concert body with rosewood back and sides, and a spruce top...

You put my unformed thoughts into words. I have played acoustic guitars for almost 50 years and never once thought "I need to hear the sound coming from the top of the guitar."

And the fanned frets?

Relax. It was a joke.

 

[Gary Blanchard]

And the fanned frets?

To be honest, I couldn't tell because the computer monitor here often squishes and distorts images. But that also seems like a problem I've never encountered. Of course, I am the King of Cowboy Chords. ops:

 

[jelloman]

A guitar with a glory hole?

...now I have seen everything...

 

[Coralkong]

I LOVE IT!

(Not sure if I would bond with it because of the fanned frets, but I would LOVE to try that out!)

 

[baimun]

LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!

 

[baimun]

Just did a search.... $1799. Man, I'm in love with that guitar!!!

 

[GilmourD]

I just wish it had a 1-5/8" nut... Then I'd be all over it.

 

[Elias Graves]

Not bad but anyone who puts a cutaway on an acoustic guitar should be punched in the nose.

 

[ellengtrgrl]

Ooh! Fanned frets and a top face sound hole! I wanna take it for a spin!

 

[PunkKitty]

Nice!

OW! MY NOSE!
