Its long gone now in its new home in Australia but I still think of it often. I sometimes would sit for hours just listening to the notes, not really playing music but lost in the rich complexity and subtle power of the voice of this guitar. I am extremely excited about this model as it some how has the perfect balance of qualities, than certain something where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. It incorporates several new design features and improvements, the most striking being the elevated fingerboard design. This guitar is the latest version in the evolution of the Genesis guitar project that I began in 2000. ![]()
