Comment:  Aaron Ringo builds beautiful instruments. They are highly detailed musical sculptures that also perform as well as any double top guitar built today. The quick note bloom and bright energy suggest a very lightly braced guitar.  The short scale and generous string spacing is particularly attractive to anyone with hands that need this. As a player with somewhat normal hands, I find the guitar very easy to play. What I love about this instrument is its punchy, gutsy power. A true performance instrument.
