i met the luthier some years ago never known that he will go into acoustic guitar making, i tested this guitar and find that it was really awesome due to the fact the redwood is more than 100 years ago, we have many exotic wood down here but mainly for antique furniture making. I was totally blown away by this custom Made mini jumbo, the luthier personall crafted this guitar not CNC or any high tech tools was use cause his shop is still very small and only few student under his coaching at the moment kinda keeping the cost low in operation. Not many people will appreciate the custom made idea when there are so many China Made guitar floating in the market (way too cheap but no qualtity). So pls visit the website and tell me what you think.
