Hello Mr. Geoff Ferdon from XGuitars
I received the guitar via UPS two days ago, and I love it.
I am a very picky musician I put attention to little things that people don’t see and this guitar is well build
The harmonics and bass, sound great. There is no distortion in the sound at all.
I just want to say thanks and I like to buy few accessories for my guitar
Have a good afternoon and it was pleasant to make business with you
I will recommend XGuitars to my friends and family
