The new generation Tui model, first introduced mid 2008, has many new design features but what really sets this instrument apart from all previous Tui is the improved tone and musicality that comes from a combination of a modified bracing layout as well as my truss bracing design. The result is simply stunning.

"Thank you 1000000000000 for involving me in your amazing work.
.... the guitar.......oh my god......I simply loved it. There is no better guitar on earth in my experience. I am really quite haunted by it. I miss it, though I played it less than 3 hours. Never felt anything quite like this about a guitar......Haunted..........
You are a magic man Laurie..
Thanks again. I hope our paths will cross and merge in the future.
Un abrazo."
