One of the high-end products of Cushin Gakki Japan Factory. It feels lighter than a KV2 or a similar segment version, KVMG Pro. Besides the rosewood fretboard and binding, there's nothing different from than mentioned models. I won't write about specs, simply that it has a premium feel.
You can't go wrong with this.
