Johnson Guitars Carolina JD-17 £239.99

,

Manufacturer's description

Carolina Series guitars have the authentic tone, design and feel of an American tradition. Designed by master craftsman Greg Rich, each guitar is handmade from hand-select woods and features pristine workmanship and a full, booming tone.

From traditional folk to progressive bluegrass, there are features on every Carolina to appeal to your acoustic style. These guitars feature a solid Engelmann spruce top, back and sides made of African mahogany or East Indian rosewood, classic fittings such as butterbean tuners and hand-cut abalone/M.O.P. detailing.

The big, well-balanced tone on these guitars is exceptional especially because of the pre-war style construction. The fully scalloped forward-x bracing is a 1930's style that adds strength and resonance to lower registers and more clarity to the highs.

Carolina Series I guitars are an excellent introduction for players who want a classic pre-war style acoustic with a booming tone and excellent craftsmanship.

    You really can't go wrong at this price point. It's solidly built and sounds great every way I've used it, strumming chords or finger-picking acoustically or playing slide leads and comping with it mic'ed or with a pickup. The finish work is a little sloppy and the intonation is slightly out in the very high frets (15th and up), but I can't reach them with my stubby, worn out fingers anyways since there's no cutaway.
    I'm very happy with mine and won't give it up until and unless I go to a $1000 plus price point. Even then, I'll probably keep it as a back up.
