NGD: 2015 BTO GA P. Sitka/AR back and sides!
« on: June 26, 2019, 05:20:12 PM »
At first I was skeptical about the minimalistic sleek look as I much preferred fancier inlays on the fretboard and headstock also I was unsure about the super yellow top. Nevertheless, I strummed her and I just could not put her down. Also the ebony rosette is just so good looking! The unique amazon rosewood back and sides projected a rich tone with great booming lows, crisp middles, and an elegant highs. She is a real beauty. I think I’ll call her Diana. She’s such a one of a kind gal  ;D

Sometimes classy means done conservatively, in good taste. Diana is sure sweet!

I think Diana is exceptionally beautiful.  She has bling written all over her, just in a different way.  Kind of like Audrey Hepburn.
Well, that was kinda weird but I hope you get my meaning.

Any chance you can reduce the size of those images? They're enormous...

if you have an imgur account, the desktop version allows you to resize them. i think you can also host it and add letter to the end of the file name url to make it (s)mall, (m)edium or (l)arge
