“I’ve played a lot of great guitars over the years, and I am utterly flabbergasted at how Jason has learned to make guitars of this caliber in such a short period of time as a luthier. I wanted a negra because I’ve been leaning more towards blancas for the past decade and I figured it was time for a change. And wow – this guitar sounds *dark* and *deep*. The guitar is extremely well-balanced from string to string. Going from the basses to the trebles in a run or while playing arpeggios feels like a very smooth transition – the basses don’t overpower the trebles, and the trebles all sound even and warm.
The guitar is very, very resonant. When you play an E phrygian chord, you feel your entire chest vibrate. Just doing a golpe makes you feel like the entire top is moving – such a wonderful sensation! And the guitar is super light!
The playability is on another level – perhaps one of the easiest, if not *the* easiest, guitar I’ve ever played. I can get through lengthy pieces replete with barre chords effortlessly. It has enough sizzle to sound really flamenco when pushed, but it sounds very mellow and silky when played softly.
The cutaway design is probably one of my absolute favorite as it works so well to allow instant access to the higher frets with zero obstruction, while also looking very cool. I really, really recommend getting one of Jason’s guitars!!!”
