Sound Pure's Take
Condition Used, Very Good
SP Luthier Notes: A small number of frets were polished, recrowned and leveled. (A) Minor dent(s) present on the guitar required our luthier to fill, color match, and refinish the area. These drop fills were done on the neck of the guitar. No further work was required.
While it may only be our 2nd guitar from the masterful David Newton by way of a previous owner, if you're looking for a killer, smallbody Blues machine, this will be the final stop on your journey. Impossibly light, impossibly loud, impossibly crisp and clear from bass to treble--this is the kind of guitar that will ruin, RUIN you when it comes to what you expect from a 00 size (or a Maple b/s instrument of any size, for that matter). And let's not skimp on the other stuff--that flat, 1 3/4" neck and nut are roomy enough for ragtime but fast enough for fleet-fingered forays up and down the neck. And what a sight to behold from a purely cosmetic perspective: the star inlay on the peghead, the tortoise bridge pins, the french polish finish; heck, even the label in this thing looks good!
