Review - Please try to include as many specific details as you can: Bought her new in 1983. She has a beautiful, rich, sweet tone, and projects almost as if she were amplified. "Her" name is Lucy, after my favorite TV redhead. With her gold-red cedar top and burled mahogany back and sides, she's one of the most beautiful guitars I've ever seen. I play anything on her from Fernando Sor to Willie Nelson to Bluegrass. Finger picking to flat picking. This guitar makes me sound more acomplished than I really am. For the money easily one of the best buys I've made.

Rating (On a Scale of 1-10): 10

Additional Comments/Final Verdict: Great neck action, no buzz, great projection from the lows to the highs.
