Yulong Guo "Echoes", 2025
Cedar / CSA Rosewood
The Echoes Doubletop from Yulong Guo offers remarkable value for players looking to step into the world of high-performance doubletops without the boutique price tag. This model sits in the middle of Guo's lineup—positioned between his entry-level student guitars and the flagship Philharmonic model—and provides an impressive amount of sound and refinement for the money.
This particular Echoes features a cedar doubletop construction with a Nomex core, paired with a beautiful set of Santos rosewood for the back and sides. A subtle sapwood strip runs down the center, giving the guitar a distinct, eye-catching aesthetic. The raised fingerboard improves upper fret access, and the C-shaped neck is extremely comfortable, making this an approachable, easy-to-play instrument for extended sessions.
