I love your arrangement of my one and only. Johnny hartman! If I buy this guitar will I be able to play like this? Chord melody always sounds better to me on an acoustic flat top than an archtop, and this one rings like a bell!

Beautiful! What are your thoughts with regards to strumming this one? I love it but I’m primarily a flat picker. Curious to know if you think the sound holds up with that style of play.

Wow this is a fantastic guitar. And priced well below what a custom would be.
