Two weeks in with my Julian Mahogany, and I'm pleased as can be with the purchase. The parlor size makes for comfortable playing without sacrificing too much low-end sound or volume, and the overall feel along the neck and fingerboard is smooth and easy. And even when I'm not playing, I just enjoy looking at it... beautifully designed. I doubt you could ever find this level of quality at such a reasonable price anywhere else (and a really nice case too!)
