The New Charis Performance Series Guitars are here now! These are extraordinary instruments! Each is meticulously hand made by Bill Wise, Master Luthier. It was Bill’s desire to put his guitar in more hands of Players and this is accomplished by making them in “batch” numbers. Bill completes 3 to 12 of these at one time. Purchasing wood in large quantities and creating multiple parts is a great way to increase production at a reduced price that’s passed along to the Player. Also, most of the bling that is available on the Custom Series Charis is not available on this spectacular guitar.
Some Luthiers have an “entry level” guitar. This instrument is not one of these. It has wood binding, beautiful inlays and rosette, cutaway, impeccable craftsmanship, playability that can’t be touched accept by only the finest Luthiers. This is a 100% win/win guitar! Tone, volume, great looks and playability that is extremely affordable. A work of art you can play!
Check out the Comparison and you will see this is one guitar that you should own! Acoustic Pro Musician has a huge selection!
Starting at $4165 with cutaway and custom Cedar Creek case.
