Customer Testimonials: European Maple Eminence

wedge-full“Several years ago when I found out that Greg was starting to make hand made guitars, I knew that I wanted one. Did I need one? No, but that didn’t mean I wanted it any less! This past January my wife out of the blue said I should contact Greg and order a guitar. I spoke with Greg and we talked about sound, neck size, custom inlays, even the type of strings to use. I thought at one point he would get tired of my questions as I tried to understand and comprehend everything he was telling me, and teaching me at the same time. But he was patient and very understanding. I wish to thank Greg for what I believe is the finest guitar I have heard or played.  Some of you Kansas City musicians have seen it and even played it while Greg recorded you doing so. My thanks to you as well. The guitar was and is the Eminence!”
