His own words tell us all we really need know:

“I’m passionate about making guitars. The transformation, as if by some form of alchemy, of beautiful but inert wood into a vibrant instrument with its own individual characteristics and personality, still fascinates and delights me. The result that I seek to achieve is a guitar that looks and sounds intuitively ‘right’ in all its proportions and aspects, and will exceed its new owner’s expectations in every way.” – Christopher Dean

This guitar has exceptional clarity and a particularly generous volume. The sound comes quickly due to the light construction. The top is in good condition with only a few minor marks. There are a few minor button marks to the back and a few small marks on the neck.
A joy to play - such a classy instrument.
