This is one of his Studio models, less expensive, yet, bringing out why the true Italian luthiers are among the best in the world. Clearly voiced, powerful, bold and direct, with lyrical qualities that many wish they had available and workmanship that is to be admired. Truly classy in all regards. Please read more about this exceptional luthier Lorenzo Lippi here ___________ 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.
