Personal Thoughts:
Charles Fox is one of the finest luthiers in the boutique acoustic world, and this SJ-Sonoma model is a masterclass in craftsmanship. Built in Healdsburg, California, this is not just a guitar—it’s a piece of artistry with an unmistakably rich and articulate voice. The combination of Engelmann spruce and Indian rosewood delivers incredible balance and projection, perfect for fingerstyle or strumming.
It’s a responsive, expressive instrument with a refined dynamic range and premium woods throughout. The slim neck profile and ergonomic jumbo body make it a joy to play whether seated or standing.
Condition Report:
Excellent condition. This guitar came from a private collection and has been extremely well preserved. A few faint handling marks if you go looking, but overall very clean. Frets are in great shape, no structural issues, electronics working perfectly.
