You don't judge a fine guitar. You play it.
You hear it: The basses resonate. The high strings ring like cathedral bells. The harmonics hang in the air. Each note is united to the others, yet a distinct entity.
You feel it: The instrument rests, light and strong against your body. The chords vibrate against your chest. Scales run smooth and clean as if flowing from your fingers.
You don't judge a fine guitar. You play it and believe.
