This guitar plays like a dream and the sound is Symphonic. Kevin's flutes produce a sound unlike any other side soundport or off-set soundhole. He has definitely found the sweet spot and utilized the placement of the flutes to maximize the blend of the guitar's sound from the traditional soundhole and these flutes in the top bevel. The balance is perfect and very pleasing. This Nightingale guitar also features Kevin's revolutionary A4 Kerfing. Basically, It is genuine mahogany, has an incredibly clean and crisp appearance, has the unique A4 "racing stripe", efficiently uses wood otherwise unusable and has a high "cool" factor. |
