Every guitar has a story, however this guitar has pedigree. Jacki Marshall (web site here) is one of the best singer song writers I know (her last CD was awarded 4 stars in the Australian). However since having a bubby, something had to go (don’t worry, it wasn’t the bub ). This guitar is beautiful, All solid Spruce and Mahogany construction makes for a big rich and woody tone. Whoever gets this beauty will never want for vintage tone again.
