No. 1704. Includes deluxe hardshell case. This is a brilliant "custom" Dreadnaught model, with stunning traditional tonewoods and superb craftsmanship throughout. HsienMo scored some "amazing" Wild Indian Rosewood and we thought......"DREADNAUGHT!!" It sounds fabulous, with full, rich and powerful and glorious tone. This is a "players" instrument. If made in the US or EU this beauty would cost 3 times more!
Pronounced..."Xi-Ahn-Mo"
Many players would love to own & play a high spec, finely crafted imported instrument, made with beautiful exotic all solid tonewoods, BUT most prefer to NOT invest $4000-10000. Our wonderful Hsienmo Guitars have been compared, tested, examined and played all over Europe, Asia and beyond. They are proven top performers and are an excellent value. Please check the YouTube demos & comparison videos, as well as reviews. This is the Golden Age of Lutherie and HsienMo's founder/Luthier Li Chen is on the cutting edge, blending ancient techniques with modern precision wood cutting/shaping capability for improved fit, finish, straight & stabile necks.
We appreciate Hsienmo's Floating Fingerboard, dual carbon fiber neck stiffeners and other common sense neck innovations that combine to make for a more trouble free playing experience for decades. This is NOT just another cheap Chinese Guitar. These fine Guitars play & "sound" fabulous and easily compare with Guitars costing thousands more! If you've been keen to own & play a traditional Rosewood Dreadnaught with Herringbone detail, but you didn't want to invest $4000.....this is an excellent, amazingly fine alternative.
