" It's an absolutely beautiful instrument - the quality of the build is incredibly high. The sound definitely has the sustain that Mya-Moe is known for and the intonation is absolutely perfect. The attack of the sound is surprisingly vintage, and the chords high on the neck sound incredible."

- Chris H.
