My last one was a Cedar (see photos – from the archive). This new classical guitar is a Spruce with asymmetrical bracing, as per Max. Beautiful woods, thoughtful and careful build, excellent workmanship all work out to a clear, bright and beautiful guitar that plays and sings. The bracing is based off the work of Miguel Rodriguez Jr. The case is a Humicase Protege Black HSC. Very nice. Strung with Savarez Alliance HT classical guitar strings ____________ 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 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 – 200421-Maxwell Sipe Classical Guitar 40 2016 Spruce EIRW – holy resonator batman! LOL What a guitar.
