- #1407 Quilted Maple Super Soprano Classic
" I would like to say it was a case of love at first sight. However, while I admit that I was very smitten with the appearances---the red cedar top and the beautiful quilted maple body, not to mention the bloodwood binding and rosette--we all know that looks aren't everything. So it was not until I began to play it that I knew this was the real thing, and not just a momentary infatuation. It really and truly has it all---projection, tone, and playability. Number 1407--I love you!"
