The extraordinary German guitar building duo of Rudy Blazer and Willi Henkes have a well deserved reputation for crafting some of the finest modern guitars that compare highly with the finest pre-war \"Holy Grail\" guitars. Without a doubt, this 2008 Phoenix 28 is one of those guitars. In a room with several pre-war 18s and 28s, this guitar does not take a back seat. It stands out with a full powerful, yet balanced sound and a playabilty that is as good as it gets. The back and sides are gorgeous, crack-free Brazilian Rosewood. The top is an Alpine Spruce harvested by Rudy and Willi themselves. The top wood has a tone and look more similar to our Adirondack Spruce than the very light colored typical German Spruce.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis guitar was originally purchased by someone who intended to play it and not just stash it away. The guitar has minor nicks, dings and scratches of a guitar that has been played and enjoyed.
