An excellent instrument, in perfect condition, from one of the UK's leading luthiers. Julian Bream has owned, performed and recorded with Kevin's guitars - and one can see why. The workmanship shows great attention to detail and the tone excellent clarity. Playability is fine. A good opportunity to purchase an Aram guitar at a very reasonable price.
This instrument is sealed with Kevin's special oil finish. This gives a very natural-looking matte surface that allows the grained texture of the wood to show. The Brazilian Rosewood is of a lovely dark character, and stunning Rodgers tuners are fitted. The sound has a personal quality; the tone open and with excellent separation.
