I miss you, Lily!

I bought "Lily" in March 2009, and she's pretty much my perfect acoustic - unfortunately, she's not made it to Japan... yet!

As far as I'm aware, there were only 600 of this model produced. The wood is HPL Koa.

Update (Sep 2025): Almost two years ago, I finally brought Lily to Japan!
