Well my non guitar friends ask me, "How do you buy a guitar over the Internet and know it sounds good?". Well first I buy Hamers, second I can just tell the second I lay eyes on a guitar sometimes. "This one is going to be good."
When I went on the hunt for a Studio that one dropped in my lap by shear karma. Its badass for sure. The Zandard is awsome, loud acousticly, sustains for days.
