One of only a few American makers to achieve international acclaim, Greg Byers handcrafts a concert guitar which is unusually responsive to a player's every artistic demand. His guitars possess outstanding power, separation, evenness, and clarity, as well as exceptionally accurate intonation, and superb workmanship. They also have one of the easiest, most comfortable neck and action set ups around. Concert guitars of great power, beauty, and projection, they have rich colorful very solid trebles (including an unusually quick, singing first string), deep 'cello like basses, and in the case of his cedar top guitars a clean, warm, dark sound overall.
