Steve: The Ressler guitar arrived in great shape, and it is a phenomenal guitar.  The workmanship is exquisite and the sound is superb – very balanced and rich with sustain forever.  The neck is extremely playable and comfortable, and the woods (especially the top) are simply remarkable.  Thanks so much for steering me to this exceptional instrument.  I could not be happier with the choice. Again, my sincere appreciation for your excellent assistance!
