G.W. Barry Concert CW 2005 (Consignment) SOLD

Lush full bass response that seems to come from the center of earth, silky smooth midrange and round sparkling trebles meld with complex overtones on this beautiful Barry Concert Cutaway. It is like having a small orchestra inside and melodies just waiting to leap out of the sound hole. This example from 2005 in in near mint condition and comes with the K and K Trinity pickup. This guitar definitely possesses the three C’s: clarity, complexity and comfort!!!
