Jim, I agree completely with your comments. I've played for almost 50 years and played a pernambuco guitar about 6 months ago that convinced me that I had to have one. Bruce is such an incredible builder and has to my knowledge built more pernambuco guitars than anyone on the planet. I'm pretty darn confident that I'm going to love it.

Mine is certainly more “Orange” and it is beautiful to me but to each their own. Hard to get ones hands on pernambuco guitars but it , for me, is worth the search. I find it forgiving generally but if played with attention to technique it will bring something special.
