Sonic Evaluation
When I struck a big E chord after tuning this Froggy Bottom K Deluxe up, I was a little lost for words. "It's like...the acoustic equivalent of a cranked Marshall stack," I said, and I think that's the best way to describe its rich, all-encompassing tone. Its overtone presence is downright astonishing, it has tons of projecting power, and it has enough headroom to make some dreadnoughts but it also has a stunning capacity for nuance and subtlety. It's quite responsive and full-bodied with tons of overtone presence even at lower volumes, making for a dynamic range as wide as the stretch of the Rockies I can see from my office window. You can also really shape this guitar's sound using your technique. All in all, it makes for a wonderfully expressive playing experience!
It also has a springy, immediate attack with a lovely piano-like roundness. Though the overtones are slightly more powerful than the fundamental, it still has a pleasant woody character that keeps everything sounding clear. The more you dig in, the more shimmering overtones pop out of the soundhole--just like how a Marshall amp gets crunchier when you crank it! At all volumes, the overtones blend beautifully, creating an almost atmospheric sense of lushness.
Because of its responsiveness and fullness at lower volumes, it's a marvelous fingerstyle guitar. But, it's also a world-class strummer because of its muscular power and rich voice. Whatever your musical proclivities may be, this guitar will prove itself an inspiring companion on all your acoustic adventures!
Condition Report
This Froggy Bottom K Deluxe is in marvelous shape! It shows very light signs of normal use, and it only has a couple of tiny cosmetic imperfections to note: two tiny dings, one on the headstock on the middle edge of the treble-side slot next to the B string, and one on the bass-side edge of the binding on the back. A previous owner was kind enough to install a K&K pickup, so this guitar is ready to rock the stage! It comes with its original white Hoffee case, which is so durable that it would survive a zombie apocalypse.
