"I've played Michael Thames' guitars on and off now for over 10 years (like most guitarists, I'm too fickle to stick with one instrument for any length of time!). I've also had the pleasure on numerous occasion of hearing his insruments played by my fellow professionals in concert and by advanced students in master classes. Michael's guitars have always had the kind of refined sound, balance and playability that performing guitarists demand. Over recent years, however, Michael's building has added an extra dimension of projection and sustain that makes his guitars almost impossible to put down. He has found that elusive combination of qualities that makes a guitar irresistible: complex yet beautiful sound, strong projection, quick responses, sustain, playability and balance. These are beautiful instruments to make beautiful music on - I can't put my new one down! He is the best classical guitar builder today." Stanley Yates 6/30/07
