       A world-class guitar should be light and responsive, with good clarity and separation. A player needs to be able to produce a variety of sounds, everything from a warm, mellow tone to a bright treble when required by the music. This allows you to explore the full spectrum of sound. Owners of my guitars like being able to shift quickly from one palette of sound to another, from a sexy, bluesy groove to a driving, percussive sound to a sweet, singing sustain—almost as if they had changed guitars.
