Grand Concert
The Grand Concert is a versatile guitar that is at home to both finger-style and flatpicking. An exquisitely balanced guitar of bass response and clear resonating treble.
The Grand Concert has achieved a well deserved reputation as a perfect balanced guitar. Warm full bass response along with clear mid’s and ringing high notes. It delivers subtle overtones that creates a richness of sound that I describe as pure sweetness. The Grand Concert is a must have for any guitarist – a truly extraordinary versatile guitar.
