1. Recent Email from Eric who purchased a Thorell "FV" Guitar:
i'm loving this guitar... i mean this work of art. no lying, once its in my hands, i play for hours. it plays like a champ, effortless and easy. the sounds i'm getting out of this compact body are amazing. it puts out more sound than my 18" arch. but, it's the tone, the unbelievable sweet voice of this siren, that mesmerizes me. it's beautiful to look at, a pleasure to play, and a treat for the ears. you hit a home run with this one. this guitar is way above my ability level, i feel lucky to own it. i'd like to thank you again, for building this extraordinary instrument for me.
all the best, eric
