Traditional Series

Traditional SJ

This shape is popular among fingerstyle players for its focused and balanced sound. The round curves of this guitar reflect the smooth and intimate sound this model is popular for.

The Sharp SJ still has the great resonance and warm overtones known from Don's guitars. The main difference is the focus of each note.

This guitar is extremely comfortable for most people to play. Along with the feel of the guitar, Don plays close attention to the way the guitar is setup ensuring that the total experience of this guitar is pure musical joy.

Don will be providing a spec sheet shortly, but I just wanted to see how the photo will work along side with the text.
