Fingerstylers will go wild over this guitar. I know I did. But then I’ve always been partial to small guitars with hard back & side woods and softer tops. Most of the tracks on my Ten-In-One album were recorded on a guitar with that complement of woods. This one’s a real sweetie, from Woodland, CA luthier Ivan Sohrakoff.
