This 2016 JC Baxendale 00-18 in Sunburst is the kind of guitar that instantly feels like an old friend—lightly used, well cared for, and full of personality. It’s got that classic mahogany 00 charm, but with an extra splash of low-end warmth that makes it feel a little bigger than it looks. The tone is wide open and airy, the kind that makes you play longer than you meant to. As a 12-fret, it’s surprisingly inviting, with excellent playability that makes the whole thing feel effortless. Altogether, it’s a lively, sunburst-wrapped mood booster with a voice that’s hard not to smile at. Comes with a TKL brand HSC.
