Kevin Erickson –
Aesthetically, the Empath was the model I gravitated to. After playing all models in the showroom, I was still hooked on it. I went back again and had the owner play four models while I had my eyes closed…I still picked out the Empath as my favourite tone (and so did my partner). So rich and so clear.
This guitar is far greater than my current skill level, but I love playing it so much that I’ll eventually catch up.
I’ve had it for four months now and I am in love! It feels good and it sounds fantastic! After playing my other guitar again, I realized how much I appreciate the bevels on this one. No more digging into my ribs and leaving that impression behind; same on my arm.
I am incredibly impressed with the quality of Prestige’s product. You’ll pay nearly double for the same quality in a major brand. In fact, I just went back to buy one of the legacy series for my daughter’s grad gift; she’ll have it forever.
