Chasson Legacy Guitar (#26 of only 106) - Classic Steel String

This was one of Kent's first Classic models.  It is basically a steel string guitar in a classical body. Kent built his first guitars in 1979 under the guidance of Tom Newsome. Newsome learned from Hascal Haile who was known for building some of his steel-string guitars with classical style fan-bracing.Guitar #26 was a successful experiment to replicate that technique. It has a unique voice with sweet trebles, rich overtones, and warmth in the low end. This guitar is particularly well suited to fingerstyle or light cross-picking. It responds to a light touch but has excellent dynamic range.The small body and shorter scale length make it a joy to play. The guitar is in remarkable condition with no deep scratches or wear!
