A very very fine and precise instrument

Having owned it for years and years and years… it’s one that never leaves my heart or my fingers when playing. I’ve tried to let it go but the pull is far too strong on this one. Plays and feels like butter but hard as cheese when you want to rip! It always wants more and could certainly outplay me!!
