ACOUSTIC EXPO 2014: The Cassidy CA451 presents a striking all-flame maple body with okume neck, maple headstock veneer and abalone inlay.
The most surprising thing about this guitar is the depth of tone and harmonic sustain which theoretically should not be possible for a guitar in this price range.
