Acoustic Guitar Magazine Review, May 2008

"The T30Ac’s construction and design certainly suggest that it was conceived as a fingerstylist’s instrument. And the even, harmonic resonance derived from a few first-position chords suggests that Timberline nailed the basics of fingerstyle guitar design.

At the neck joint, on the fretboard, and inside the guitar itself, the workmanship is excellent, if not flawless.

The substantial neck, short scale, and ample string spacing make moving around the fingerboard fast and comfortable, and under light picking the guitar rings with a pleasing, round, and colorful tone. It also invited some full-step blues bends way up the neck in standard tuning, which were eased by the almost jumbo-size fretwire. Lower-register strings, too, rang out with a smooth, round, bell-like quality.

The high build quality and fine timber suggest that  the Timberline will last more than long enough develop a more complex voice and higher volume ceiling. And the guitar’s sweet tones under lighter attack hint at its balanced construction and a well-conceived tonewood recipe."

Performing Songwriter Magazine Review, May 2008

"Timberline Guitars make fine instruments - especially when you consider their accessible price range. Hand-finished, solid woods, fantastic design-they're all par for the course. The T55Ac Auditorium Cutaway is a smaller, 4.5"-deep guitar with pronounced lows and mids. The balance between frequencies was outshined only by the intonation, which was perfect straight out of the case. The sustain and balance of the T55Ac jumped out when playing a harmonic exercise. Whereas lesser guitars only give a pinched ghost of the actual harmonic content, this guitar sang out whole chords as the harmonics overlapped. Highly recommended for intermediate to experienced players with a discerning ear."

"Your line of beautiful guitars immediately caught my eye and I'm so glad I stopped to talk to you. I can't stop playing or looking at my new Timberline - there's nothing like getting a new guitar. I've got to tell you that you had a lot of tough competition. I played some Collings, Breedloves, and Santa Cruz guitars just before playing yours and the Timberline held up real well against some $4,000 guitars. I've compared it to my Taylor 812CE and even though they have completely different sounds I really enjoy the softer sound that the Cedar top on the Timberline brings out - along with the different feel to the neck. Thanks again for a beautiful guitar. You were right when you said years from now I'm really going to be glad I went for the better instrument."

"The Timberline sounded brilliant and truly inspiring plugged in. A great value solid top acoustic that competes with guitars more than twice its price" - MusicGearSource.com, online Review

"The guitar is built like a tank. Very sturdy and already the tone is loud and defined. The acoustic midrange and high end of the Timberlines are the best I have heard – equal to or unmatched by any other guitar I've owned including my Taylors, Martins, Ibanez, Takamines, Ovations, Gibsons, Fender F-hole custom acoustic or Kirk Sands custom. Rik Yerzik, Performer, Harmony-Central.com

"I have affectionately come to refer to the Timberline ARG-7C-S as a 'poor man's Taylor 914,' and I mean that as an extreme compliment to both guitars. the ARG-7C-S holds it's own and gives you a very 914-like tone at less than $800. If you can't afford a 914, the ARG-7C-S would serve you well until you can. Fett, Technology Editor, Performing Songwriter Magazine
