Review - Please try to include as many specific details as you can: Saw the guitar hanging on a rack, looking much like a D'Angelico New Yorker. Surprised to find flawless action and a solid spruce top.

Sounds fabulous both acoustically and through an amp. The responsive top makesit a bit prone to feedback. Your guitar tech can help.

The price included a beautiful hardshell case.

I've been playing since 1966 and was shopping L-5s, D'Angelicos, Guilds, etc. Why bother with quality at this price?

I had driven halfway home saying, I'll thing about it, and then I said, "What is there to think about?" and drove back to lay it away.

I brought it to demonstrate to many 30+ year guitarists including one serious jazz player, and they agreed that this was the best value jazz guitar they had encountered.

Want to buy a dedicated jazz guitar? Look for this one. Might have to shop abit to make sure the neck is buzz-free as mine is.

I've been telling all my friends ever since, including a prominent jazz guitar teacher.

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

Additional Comments/Final Verdict: What are you waiting for? If you want to play jazz guitar, go find one!!!!
