The Professional
“This is the most versatile guitar I make. I have heard this instrument play so many different styles and it seems to do them extremely well. I heard this smoking player play Country, Blues even B-Bop to ZZ Top on this guitar and he had fingers and ears that wouldn’t quit. This guitar seemed to give him all the tones he was looking for.
The combination of Mahogany and Maple have a woodiness and sustain to die for.
Also, the Professional now comes with a 5A Curly Maple top.”
