I cannot say enough about this purchase... simply stunning! This was bought as a collectors piece so I cannot really comment on its playability as I have it on display only. If it plays anywhere near as good as it looks or is constructed then this is definitely a monster of tone! Get on e before they're gone... this one is going to go up over time :)
