I always tell folks that Michael is perhaps my favorite modern-voiced builder, and it's always a real pleasure to have his guitars in the shop. There are only, what, about 200 or 250 of them out there, so you don't see them every day on the used market. This guitar is just terribly responsive, with that whole vibrating "hum" that seems to rattle the guitar's body when you ring out a nice open chord. Plays amazing - nice and smooth, with great tactile response. And just look at that beautiful straight-grained Madagascar. That's the good stuff! I'm told this guitar would be in the $20K range to order new, except that Michael has closed his waitlist at this time. Comes with original Ameritage case.

Cosmetically, this guitar is in good to very good condition. There are a few dings here and there, most of which are pictured. Otherwise just minor signs of handling.
