@ytnsanw - Pierre is often introduced with the English pronunciation of his Algerian family name, rather than the French pronunciation. I've hosted him a couple of times and he has not expected a rolled R on the Pierre either, though in Scotland he gets it :-) I have one of George's new atelier early orders, a custom S35C with the same neck/nut/fingerboard design as this one (2005) in ziricote-cedar; it is rather darker, more cutting and more aggressive than the PB F size.
An interesting and informative review, but Pierre Bensusan is French, and to hear his name pronounced "Ben-Susan" REALLY grates on the ear. His name is correctly pronounced Bon-souson, with both 'n''s silent and (I believe) the emphasis on the final syllable (As in 'Alain Delon').
This guitar is sublime. If it were not for the pulverising price, I would own this sonic work of art. Doug, you do the guitar justice with your fluidity of sound.
Sit and watch someone play guitar better than you ever will on a better guitar than you'll ever own. :)

Well, you can't win this "exact guitar" as I already own it... but... one just like it.

I have watched many acoustic guitar reviews on utube trying to hear what would make you(me) pay mega bucks for some of these top end guitars?
this is the only one I`ve heard that would make me spend my lottery winnings-
(I wish!).

you are quite possibly the only reviewer who knows what he's talking about and who can play incredibly well.
