Ray is Proudly Endorsing Kremona Orpheus Valley Guitars
"I am now playing their Rondo Thin Line guitar. This is an excellent instrument because of its size and weight, it produces an unbelievably loud and clear tone for how thin it is. It comes with an awesome Fishman Classical Pick-up system with onboard tuner. Check out my latest videos recorded using this guitar by clicking here. Visit them at: http://www.kremonausa.com/"
