Kevin used East Indian Rosewood for the headplate and the heel cap. The guitar is finished with an incredible set of Rodgers machines with MOP buttons (mother of pearl), fitted into a Hiscox Lite Flite HSC. An incredible guitar with voice and expression, sensitivity and drive, a classical guitar of superior class with grace and elegance. Setup perfectly, she plays like a dream. Kevin is listed among the top luthiers in the UK and for good reason. His guitars are elegant, with workmanship of the highest artisan level, while exhibiting a musical expression to leave one breathless. The guitar has just arrived and I will say, it is spectacular in her appearance, voice and play. The original owner found it a bit large for his hands. He has moved to 640mm scale lengths. Meticulous care for the guitar leaves it in Excellent Condition No International restrictions on this guitar, no CITES needed. I prefer to sell this guitar domestically or to have you come to the gallery in person to pick it up. __________ Media Listening with high quality headphones or audio equipment is highly recommended including EQ manipulation, if possible. We record everything flat with just a touch of Reverb to relieve dryness. My goal is to record the guitar as realistically as is possible. I speak in the recordings, my thoughts about the guitar (and possibly other things?). My speaking also serves to give you my first impressions and to also give you a balance of the engineering (or lack thereof) versus the sound of the guitar. I simply do not have time to engineer much of anything. Thanks. Rich MP3 Audio – 230422-2023 Kevin Aram Torres Marlene Spruce EIRW 650mm – a bold and beautiful experience in playing this wondrous instrument. The guitar is gorgeous, Hauser-like, balanced and gutty. https://www.savageclassical.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/230422-2023-Kevin-Aram-Torres-Marlene-Spruce-EIRW-650mm.mp3 My Solo Book of sheet music is available here if you’re interested. https://savageclassical.com/product/richard-f-sayage-solo-guitar-works-volume-1/ ——- Video _______ Premium Hiscox LiteFlite HSC is included in your purchase price.
