The Following is the Current Owner’s Description of the Instrument

This guitar's sound was always fantastic, but it has now opened up even more! The basses are what really blow me away; they are incredibly deep and rich; loud, but not boomy. There is a Gerardo Nunez piece I have been working on that has the Low E dropped to a C and that low C holds true and is still clear. I absolutely love playing Villa Lobos' cello-ish pieces on this guitar, as the basses actually sing like a cello. The trebles are also clear as a bell; I performed a Rodrigo piece "Pajaros de Primavera" with lots of activity in the high register and those high notes rung out and filled the hall with practically no effort. I have heard the complaint about many guitars that are built to be loud, becoming "boomy" and "muddy" over time. This Oberg is incredibly loud, but does not sacrifice anything in terms of sound quality; in fact the sound just seems to get richer and sweeter with time. Everyone at the Victoria Conservatory of Music was highly impressed with this guitar when I got it. This is truly an exceptional instrument and a joy to play! There is a scratch on the lower bout and the usual few little nail marks by the sound hole. There is a ding in the top in the lower bout area that has been filled and French polished over. Other superficial scrathes can only seen when closely examined in certain light. The guitar itself and all hardware, frets, etc., is in pristine condition.
