Default Petros?

In a never ending pursuit of a lifetime guitar, I have become quite enamored with a Petros FS as a strong option. Can anyone out there who owns or played one offer their candid opinion of the quality, tone, and overall experience with the guitar ? I know all depends on woods, ....etc, but just an overall impression. Thanks

I don't know which model, but I played a Petros cutaway at La Conner that was a stunning instrument. Very playable throughout the neck. The tone was rich and full of overtones, yet with a lot of balance and clarity. Nice midrange. One of the top guitars I played that weekend. A tone that drew me back for more!

A fine maker that’s worthy of your research and auditioning.
