Looks like Bill knows what he is doing. This guitar is a work of art that also happens to sound like a million dollars as well. Wonderful balance, projection, note separation, volume, bass response, etc.

I have been playing guitar for most of my 50 plus years and can, without reservation, say this is the most magnificent instrument I've ever wrapped my hands around.

The Charis just sings. The lows are so rich and PHAT (as they say) and the mids and highs come through nice and clear. I don't think I was really playing a guitar before I owned this Charis. I'm not sure I have the command of the english language to be able to describe how great this instrument is.

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

I am very, very impressed with your instruments. I just can't put this new guitar down. The sustain, tone, brilliance, playability, bass, warmth in the midrange and mature trebles are just phenomenal.

What a guitar! After having owned well over 50 guitars from most of the major makers and handbuilders, I can tell you this is one of the finest guitars I have ever played. The sound, feel, attention to detail...it is all amazing! Very inspiring to play.

I love this guitar! What a beautiful instrument you have made! Words can't adequately express how pleased I am with it. It looks beautiful and sounds wonderful. I'm a happy man.

I just felt I should write and let you know how pleased I am with my Charis. When I first opened it up I was totally impressed, and the guitar was crafted more beautiful than I had imagined. I have been playing it in church leading worship for several weeks and played in a wedding last week. The tone is rich, smooth and strong.

The guitar arrived and it is gorgeous! It meets all of my hopes and expectations I have had for the last six months. You are truly an artisan and your work gives glory to our Lord!

The Brazilian is working out quite well.  It has become my primary ensemble instrument at church – it really cuts through well!  That said, my GC is still my favorite for pure fingerstyle – it is sooo warm and relaxed.  You really do make the best guitars I have ever played!  I am blessed to own two.

Wow!!!  I got the guitar and it is nothing but just awesome. I simply cannot believe than one can be as skilled, but then the Lord reminded that the folks who build the Tabernacle and the Temple were skilled in the same way you are! What gift and ability God has given you! I am so proud of the fact that you are using it to God's glory, well done!

I've received the guitar!  Very beautiful piece of work.  Haven't played it much yet here in the office, but it feels very playable, and the sound is very clear.  Nice harmonics.

I just wanted to let you know that I received my guitar.  I really do not have words to express my appreciation for the incredible beauty of your work.  It is, without doubt, the finest instrument I have ever seen or played.

Congratulations to you one another masterpiece, and thanks for working with me to create my dream guitar.

 I played a show tonight, and it never fails that every time I play the Charis live, at least one audience member comments about the guitar afterwards.  They come up to me and say how terrific it sounds, and when they see it up close they can't believe how beautiful it is.

I received the guitar yesterday. Wow. She is simply beautiful. After a few strums, I was literally moved to tears.  Thank you for investing such quality craftsmanship in an instrument that is made for the glory of God.

First and foremost, you are a guitar genius!  I love my guitar.  At first it was the pure beauty of the guitar but once at my parents' home I was able to sit down for about one hour and really get into my new SJ.  It was amazing. I have never played such a great guitar as this.

This is the best guitar I've ever seen, heard, or played.  Honestly. The sound is so much bigger and the tone is more pure than I ever would have thought.  I'm much more pleased than I expected to be.

I received the guitar this afternoon.  I am still speechless!!!!!!! It is positively the most beautiful instrument I have ever seen or owned. You are quite the craftsman.

Bill…Just want to let you know how much I am enjoying my Charis guitar.  It is beautiful, plays and sounds wonderful, too.  Thank you for the craftsmanship you put into your instruments.  It's a real blessing…

The fullness and clarity of my Charis’ sound, coupled with the beautiful craftsmanship make it an instrument truly fit for “making a joyful noise unto the Lord.” It’s the best guitar I’ve ever played.

This letter is an overdue thank you for the gorgeous guitar you made for me last year. …I must say that I am stunned at the level of craftsmanship in the instrument. Not only is it absolutely the best sounding instrument I have ever played (including Lowden, Goodall, Martin, Taylor and yes… Olson!), it is absolutely beautiful.

I now have the beautiful (Charis Acoustic) guitar from Guitar Gallery. … I am grateful to have it. It is awesome and inspiring. The tone is meticulous and full. I primarily play classical guitars and appreciate the refined appearance and playability of the guitar.

This is the finest guitar I’ve ever played. The painstaking craftsmanship that went into building this guitar makes it a cut above the rest.
