Andre Coutu - Lead Guitarist for Celine Dion
Hello Denny, I received your guitar today and what a great instrument it is! I really like it a lot. It almost sounds like a piano. Very crisp and articulate, perfectly in tune. A very musical guitar. I like the fact that it's light weight. The neck is very easy to play everywhere, I can bend the strings easily and there's no buzz at all. The sound is focused, full range, nice bottom, solid mids, rich and round highs. Plus, I think it looks awesome! Thank you so much, I really appreciate that guitar. Please, say hello to your father for me, I'm a big fan of his song "In The Year 2525." I was only 8 years old when it came out but I remember it very well, even if I lived far, far away in Chicoutimi province of Quebec, Canada, and that brings me back a lot of good memories. Best regards and if you're ever around Las Vegas and would like to see Celine's show please let me know and I'll be more than happy to arrange something for you. Thank you again.

Hi Denny. When I arrived at my brothers house the guitar was already there. Curious as I was, I immediately unpacked it and started to play. Wow, what an experience! The guitar looks great, sounds fantastic and plays extremely easy.. I’m very happy with my new instrument and I will tell all my colleges in the Netherlands about you guys. Keep up the good work.

Garry Tallent - Founding Member of Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band
“This guitar is one of the finest acoustic guitars I have ever played. The neck is just the right fit, the touch is outstanding and most of the all the sound is big and clean.” —Garry W. Tallent, founding member of Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band.
Growing up around the Jersey shore, Tallent took up first the tuba, then the bass and then the guitar. He was influenced by James Jamerson, Donald "Duck" Dunn, and Paul McCartney. He started playing with Springsteen in 1971 in two earlier bands and then was an original member of the E Street Band. Both visually and musically he stays in the background; his most notable bass parts may be on the song "Fire" and the last verse of "Incident on 57th Street". During the E Street Band's early years, he occasionally played the tuba on some of Springsteen's quirkier early songs, both in concert and on record (most notably “Wild Billy's Circus Story”).
