All the power and fullness you could want. It would be very hard to top this at 4 times the cost. Don't miss this one...." - Paul Heumiller "This is your chance to own a legendary Bluegrass guitar. These guitars were made famous by Doc Watson who still plays them. This one has been played just enough to make it sing, but not enough to cause any visible damage. It's in really excellent condition and is definitely a good value if you are looking for a powerful Bluegrass instrument." - Al Petteway "Big, warm, and open... this guitar sounds older than its years, which is a very good thing. It's loud without sounding brash, full and rich without any ambiguous overtones, and the trebles can really hold up to hard playing. Makes me want to take up bluegrass!" - Al Schlimm J.W.
