"The Charis Acoustic guitar is a fine instrument indeed! Beautiful to look at and wonderful to play! I used this fine acoustic on 6 tracks on my newest release "Freehand--Acoustic Sketches vol 2" If you go to my website,
philkeaggy.net, you can read which
songs I played the Charis on."

As for
a few words. Man, I almost at a loss for
words, this guitar has been a Godsend.
The attention to detail is amazing.
It really does have it all, playability,
beautiful tone, and looks like a dream.
I have yet to play it somewhere and not
get tons and tons of compliments on its
sound and look.. In
sessions when mic'ed, I hardly need to
touch the EQ. Very balanced tone.
The best Acoustic guitar I ever had.
Seriously.

"Bill, this guitar
is truly an inspiration.....it calls my
name....This
is by far one of the finest acoustic
guitars I've ever played. The neck
on this thing is amazing...extremely
stable with alternate tunings. The
harmonics are sweet, the sound if full
and it is truly beautiful to
look at. You build incredible guitars."

"Thank you so much for my new guitar!! I cannot tell you how awesome it sounds and how beautiful it looks. I have enjoyed every minute that I have got to spend with it so far. It really is a magnificent instrument and I am blessed to have it as my own."

"This is a special guitar, with a special sweetness to its sound and feel. As I believe that each guitar has a melody inside from God for each composer and artist, I immediately played several new melodies as soon as I gave it a serious run through in private. God willing, these will no doubt find their way onto a future recording. Thanks Michael, and thanks Charis guitars!"

“I love my Charis... The Charis tone is Super great, not tinny or
boomy.... The treble is sweet, not shrill or harsh. Bill has set up
the guitar to play great. He and I worked it out on how I liked a
guitar to play. He seems to have it down pat. You will definitely
like the way it handles.”

"I spent roughly
eleven hours in a studio yesterday and
the engineer and I couldn't believe how
incredible the guitar came alive in his
cedar acoustic room. The evenness in
tone, the bass response, the smooth high
ends -- this guitar is incredible!"

"I'm really not able
to express how deeply grateful I am to
you for your excellent craftsmanship!
This guitar is indeed exactly what I
envisioned I needed, and has really
exceeded my expectations! It has
precisely the balanced tone I required
for fingerstyle work but has the volume
and projection a singer songwriter needs
for harder playing. I do not own
another guitar that can compare to the
SJ!

"The Charis acoustic is the most
organically responsive guitar I have
ever played. I've used it on many
sessions in Los Angeles and Nashville
and each engineer marveled at the
expressiveness of this wonderful
acoustic. To hear it in action listen to
the clips from my latest duet CD with
Phil Keaggy - "Two of Us" - at
www.mikepachelli.com - I used the Charis
on every song. I will always Cherish my
Charis!"

I remember clearly that after some
"handcrafted" and "custom" labeled
acoustic guitars I played, I could never
hear that roar of an earth under horses
running, or those heights so clear and
heavenly as clouds resting on mountain
peaks. You can say I am silly, but
that is my vision of an acoustic guitar
sound. In that quest I approached to
Bill, and he did it, it became first
Charis in this country. I could really
feel and hear those elements while
playing and recording. Croatian luthiers
say it is most precise guitar from small
shop luthier they ever saw..... My music
is personal, and I am blessed to have
personally crafted instrument whose
sound touches people wherever I go!

My Charis feels like both
the Excalibur and the Holy Grail of
acoustic guitars. As soon as people see
it, their eyes light up. When they hear
it, they really start to sparkle.
