This is the first of these guitars I've had the pleasure of playing and I have to say I am impressed. Not only are the woods and workmanship top notch, the tone is perfectly balanced and ideal for fingerstyle playing. I love the way the heel goes right into the cutaway and the elevated fingerboard makes it a joy to play when you are on the higher frets. I would imagine that this would be a good instrument for anyone looking to expand their collection with a guitar from a relatively new master builder. He is not well known now, but he will be. I'd never heard of Ryohei Echizen until this year's Healdsburg Guitar Festival, where I first got to play this amazing guitar. Holy smokes! I was drawn in by the stunning materials used -- creamy Euro Spruce and Ziricote of unmatched beauty. Then I began noticing all the top-notch appointments, as well as Ryohei's remarkable attention to detail. I thought if it sounded half as good as it looks, there was potential there. Turns out, the tone and playability surpassed the looks. Perfect action compliments a heavenly voice with full, tight bass and nice juicy trebles. We'll be hearing a lot more from Ryohei Echizen in the future, and I can't wait! - http://www.dreamguitars.com/products/echizen/echizen_r1_cutaway_1002/echizen_r1_cutaway_1002.php
