Justin Johnson Brings Out All Of The Gold Passion's Tone & Feel

March 27, 2023

The blues master Justin Johnson delighted his 1.5 million YouTube followers and countless other guitar fans with an acoustic fingerstyle arrangement of Bill Withers' classic, ‘Ain't No Sunshine' – this time using our new flagship guitar, the Gold Passion.

There's no better player than Justin to highlight all the premium features of the Gold Passion, in whose hands every element of the guitar contributes to the sound.


It's impossible to listen to his playing without being transported by the imagery created by the sound. The Torrefied ATV (Aged-to-Vintage) top of the Gold Passion and sonically enhanced UV finish not only give more life to the tone and the ‘woody' characteristic only years of seasoning can normally achieve but also fit the scenery of Justin's performance in its elegance entirely.

The Solid Engelmann Spruce top responds to Justin's dynamic soft touch in the intro. It later projects the punch of his slapping as the melody builds up into a free blues jam his fans know well – meanwhile, the deep low mids of the “AAA” grade solid flamed Maple back and sides make the bass notes that hold everything together articulate and well defined.
