" Wow, I'm so fond of your archtop guitar, I'll buy another one some day!!!! The "Free" Isana is a really great great great guitar!!!!!! So fat and noisy!! Love it so much! I showed the guitar to a few friends, and I must say they were impressed!!! I've tried it on a 15 watt Vox, on a Fender Blues junior, and on my Fender Vibro Champ, and WOW, what a sound! It's really powerful and rough (and it allows good feedback control)! I'm having so much fun playing with it! And I'm a little obsessed too... I can't help holding it and looking at it... It's the first time I'm so satisfied with a guitar sound! I've also tried it on my Fender DeVille.. Great sound too!!! I L-O-V-E it!

The Isana makes quite an impression every time I use it in gigs! Last Saturday, I got a call from a French man, who saw a picture of me and
the Isana in a local newspaper (we played a few dates in France that week). He wanted to know everything about it; when it was built, where i
bought it. I gave him Black Guitars' website address.

I showed the Isana to the folks working in a local guitar shop.. They gave it a 9/10 !!! I don't know why they gave only a 9/10 for the guitar! Maybe they're jealous (the Isana was the best guitar in their store that day, I'm telling you!)... As a matter of fact, I haven't seen anybody who didn't like it! I'm absolutely fond of it! You did a great job Jon!"
