Great for fingerstyle or flatpicking. Solid spruce top and solid rosewood back and sides. 1 7/8" nut width. Schatten HFN Artist active pickup. Original tuners replaced with Grovers.

Lovely!
20 some odd years ago, when my joints were more nimble, I was inches from pulling the trigger on this model. Total triple O vibe

Nice demo review by a stellar finger picker

| That review by Stevie Coyle is for the mahogany 8418 version. This is the rosewood version. The store I bought it from also had an 8418. I AB'd them and decided the rosewood version was well worth the extra $$. They're both great guitars. Thanks for the post. |

Ah yes
I stand corrected
Guess I’m a mahogany guy and the mahogany got the best of me.
Super nice model
