A beautiful ringing monster of a guitar by Sergei, the Brazilian is
simply gorgeous, the Spruce tight and clear, the machines sensitive, the
playability made to drive, easy yet forceful. She sings with a
ringing voice in the trebles, while evidencing enviable balance and
separation throughout her spectrum. It will be a joy to record
her, I assure you. The Ebony Armrest makes holding the guitar
comfortable while being secure.
She is a bit large in the body, probably accounting for the big sound.
The neck and string spacings, however, are very comfortable regarding
standard measurements (see above readings).
The clock key adjustable neck is a wonder. I really like this
feature, allowing action adjustment on the fly. It is fast and
easy to do, yet the guitar neck is very stable once adjusted.
She was very well cared for by her owner and rightly so. The
guitar is a gem by the Canadian master. I will detail any issues
in the finish shortly, once I thoroughly inspect the guitar.
There is a crack in the soundboard, wholly stabilized. It is not
an issue and is refinished. There is typical, very light swirling
of the finish in the back, where the Brazilian RW is in excellent
condition. |
