Its top, first destined for a cello, is of well aged and fine grained Carpathian Spruce. The three dimensional flame maple figure on the back and sides comes to life under the rich heritage burgundy finish. Its voice expresses a lush, and open sound featuring complexity and clarity. It has remarkable evenness over the entire neck resulting in a\u00a0very loud and precise acoustic guitar.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Since I already own two Koentopp guitars the question is, why a third?\u00a0 The answer for me was simple; I had to have the Amati.\u00a0 In my opinion, it is the most naturally unique and intrinsically beautiful instrument I have ever played &#8211; a true collector\u2019s item and work of art.\u00a0 I pinch myself whenever I walk into the room and see it waiting for me.\u00a0 Its heritage is obvious and the instrument stands up to its name.\u00a0 The craftsmanship is mind blowing.\u00a0 I would also add that working with Danny on this wonderful custom guitar was such a great experience&#8221;
