Loud,rich and warm with fantastic sustain. Post and baffle gives a modern sound but complex and sweet tone. Not too metallic or nasal.
No dislikes.
Played a $6000 Meridith at the same store and the Terris ran it damn close.

It's lasted so far with no problems. I would have no problem gigging without backup.

Appearance of the maple is the highlight. Quarterman cone, grover tuners, bone nut, ebony bridge. No need for any upgrades.
Components Rating: 10
I'd never heard of this builder but he has a reputation as a very fine luthier. He also builds mandolins, banjos and regular guitars and repairs violins.
