Actually, I said that while the bass wasn't powerful, it is satisfyingly compete. This is an OM afterall, not a dread or jumbo. Tony has managed to get an incredible amount of sound out of this relavtively small bodied guitar. The bass is just that, satisfying. It leaves you completly satisfied. The redwood gives the sound a wonderfully broad pallet that cedar offer, but with a lot more headroom. I have yet to overdrive this top.
Also, Tony has come up with a unique neck joint system that gets the action just exactly right. He also carves the neck just slightly off center for playing comfort. These two things in combination make this guitar play "like butter".
Also, it is just a matter of time before Tony's work gets the recognition it deserves and the attendant price increases that come with that recognition
