    The tonal quality and response are absolutely superb. I can't recommend this product enough. It barks loud, then whispers gently as you play a slow waltz. It's versatile and a beauty. Gibson's quality is back and as expected, it is superbly impressive. There is a hefty price tag that is multiple mortgage payments for most Americans, but if you have the money, it will make your Mando playing so enjoyable and you'll have a beauty as well.
