General Comments
I was loaned a new DSM which is their dreadnought sized guitar. The
Ayers ACS particular model has sitka spruce top, mahogany sides and back, and abalone perfling. Its beautifully built and LOUD. The neck is even wide for finger picking and a stretch. Can't imagine the Luthier in Ho Chi Minh City using his thumb to cover the bass on an F chord. So, great guitar for a big handed person. and yes, each one built by one luthier. amazing to find at the price which I understand to be around $1K dollars. So, if you're looking for an incredibly well built and great sounding solid wood handmade guitar from Vietnam ...oh, and you have big hands, go borrow one yourself
