The few things drawing me to this one:
- Spruce top. Sounds more guitar like to me, which is what I'm looking for in my Bari.
- All solid wood
- 21 inch scale and wide string spacing
- thicker neck
- seems cheap for a luthier build (450). I was looking at a similar priced Kala/Lanikai solid or solid top.
