That top is BIZZARRE! (in a positive way).. I wonder what it actually sounds like though?

Probably not much unless you plug it in.

Well, it's very expensive guitar and it's well handled. My one is the most playability 12er I've had in my hands. THe sound is unplugged not huge, but clear and warm, a little more dark. Plugged in, full, warm and also clear but without that sparkle of a 1615.
With other words: Much better as a Cellebrity CC65, but not as fine as a 1615.

Hey, I've looked at the pics once more, this one has a cheap neck!! Mine has the 5-piece neck, the same as Legends and other good ones.

Look at the pics once more, and you will see that the neck pic shows another guitar - preamp!

Best regards,

I have similar walnut (mine is Claro) in my W-65 12: front, back, and sides...and it sounds wonderful...

Gorgeous guitar!
