Sound


It has great bottom end, clear and clean all way up the neck. I had it especially made by Joe, for my taste and style of picking. It is mahogany with a rosewood fingerboard, gold tone ring, nickel parts and "pass" rim, ivoroid binding, resonator rings, Gotoh tuners and ivoriod buttons.

Setup


Joe had it set up just for me. He even had the strap put on that I sent him prior to assembly. I was staying in a cabin I had rented, and he even brought it to my front door in Mouontain View Arkansas.

Appearance


As stated above, I had it "special ordered", made to my specs. Joe was very helpful, in that he keep me posted all during the time it was being made.

Components


The case , even though it is a hardshell, could be better. It needs another latch I think.
