This is clearly a superior classical guitar. Internal inspection reveals a Radial Bracing Pattern (think like the sun), which is beautifully done in the hands of the American Master. Guitar is graded at about a 95% in terms of condition. I see a few small ticks around the rosette, and one towards the butt of the guitar on the soundboard. Tough to see except by turning into the light. The guitar is explosive, big in her sound, crystal in the highs, a pleasure to hold and play. One of the nicest guitars I’ve seen in a long while. I had a tough time putting it down, having a blast with this guitar. __________ 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.
