Not bad for a low cost beater

These were made in Tacoma Washington in the 1990s and were low cost hand made guitars. In general they are pretty good and play in tune very well.

They have massive finish imperfection that lead to peeling.

Loudest Acoustic I've ever played

This thing has minimal bracing, which led to four humidity cracks on the front plate, but the sound was so pure that I spent the money to have them fixed instead of getting another guitar. I've had mine for 15 years.
