Another fantastic offering from Benz Tschannen that we picked up from the La Guitarra festival! This spruce double-top immediately grabs the eye with its bear clawed top and rich color scheme of the bindings and rosette with compliment the cocobolo bridge, back, and sides beautifully. The sound carries the hallmarks of Benz's guitars (vibrant tone, great volume, fun playability, and super fast responsiveness) but this spruce also gives a punch to the strings, providing a great contrast to the usual more mellow cedar. 

With its double-top, elevated fingerboard, and oval soundport this is a great instrument for a player looking for a great sounding modern guitar without the big price tag.
