The first time I picked up this guitar, I could feel and see the difference. The construction is so tight and the looks are superb (the photos do not even do it any justice). Then I tuned it up and started playing it. If you like that super rich deep tone of a full size guitar that resonates more on the low end, this is it! I find that it impells one to play better, because the action and sound just keeps you wanting to make more music with it. It draws me in and doesn't let go. I keep expanding on the tone possiblities with this Arboles. I could not put it down and so, I now have one of my own for a keeper. It also does well with alternative tunings and brings out that rich tone in D, E, and Even down to Low C tuning. This guitar is not something I would let just anybody touch or play. I almost would be afraid of taking it out for a show that something my scratch it or bump it by accident. It is a super high end guitar as good as others costing over $4000 that I have played. The fretboard inlay is elegant but not gawdy as in some expensive guitars that nobody really plays. It is like having super high end but because of the price, you can actually play it and not try to keep it "perfect" for collectors. Most people with super high end Martins or Gibson, don't take them out to play, and sometimes they never play them as a collector. This is such a warm and sweet sounding guitar that just says and sings "super high end" to all who have picked it up and played it. I am going to make some new recordings with it.
