These guitars provide a serious step up from the the factory-made instruments you’re used to, making them a fantastic choice for advancing players or anyone looking for a concert-worthy instrument at a reasonable price. For about a year now I’ve been getting to know my Fonzo Ej-13 and I have been so impressed that I’ve become the North American distributor for Fonzo classicals.
