Description

Best Guitar I ever played or heard
Honestly it was a little cumbersome and at times required more effort to play but it more than made up for it with it's crystal clear twangy voice. I used it for about 4 years. I will probably never have another one but it played a massive role in shaping my tone and playing style. It can be heard my band's first EP and our first album "Broken Pathways".
