I had use of this guitar from Harvey Leach for about a year. It is a true beauty and it works every bit as well as advertised.

I am a real bigot for quality sound out of a guitar - and this guitar has it. In particular, it has beautiful highs.

The strings slip through holes in the nut, rather then over slots - so they do not unwind off the pegs when you break the instrument down (in answer to a question above).

The guitar folds up and down very very easily and I never had trouble tuning or keeping it tuned. It has great electronics too.

The neck fit precisely and perfectly at the joint. It flawlessly fit and refit its position every time. As I said I used it regularly for a year and I never had wiggle, wobble or trouble of any kind with folding neck.

I normally play a jumbo guitar and prefer rosewood (the harvey leach guitar I had was mahogany) - so my usual preference was for a bigger and warmer sound, BUT this guitar was a beauty. I actually preferred its sound for some of the up-the-neck finger-style stuff I do, and I used the guitar in the studio for two songs. I have an endorsement from Larrivee guitars, otherwise I might still be carrying around Harvey Leach's guitar!

Like Deb said above, the guitar was a treat to travel with. It always fit the overheads on airplanes and never raised more then an eyebrow passing through security.

This guitar is the real thing. It's a great idea and I wish Harvey Leach continued success with it.
