| The word that comes to mind is IMPRESSIVE!
This is only the second guitar we have taken delivery of from up and coming
luthier Alastair Miller and it is a BEAUTY!!!
Alastair Miller worked with world
class guitar maker Sergei DeJonge and has assimilated all of the attention
to detail and love of fine tonewoods from his mentor. This instrument
has ultra clean lines, luscious Brazilian rosewood and a very rare
one-piece Sitka spruce top.
As wonderful as this guitar looks,
my initial positive reaction was a result of the tone and response of this
instrument. I would put this guitar beside any of the most respected
work of seasoned luthiers. There are guitars and there are GUITARS.
This falls in the latter group!!!
