1993 Gernot Wagner Spruce Maple Traditional
Comments:
Gernot Wagner has clearly been a master builder for a very long time. This guitar is a resonant beast of pure voice. Condition is at least very good. There are a few faint nail marks in and around the top, a string ding behind the bridge treble E string. A professional repaired crack in the top is visible in the photos. It is very clean, and smooth to the touch, cleated, etc. Very stable. I couldn’t have done a better job myself.
The action is moderately low at 3.5mm at the low E 12th fret and 3.1mm at the treble E 12th fret. I find the guitar very easy to play, very musical and quite powerful in her voice.
The guitar was just evaluated by a very good friend of Gernot, where I was told that this is a very special guitar, very rare. The sound exploded in his hands, coming to serious life. I had to agree.

Listening with high quality headphones or audio equipment is highly recommended
MP3 Audio – 200808-1993 Gernot Wagner Spruce Maple Traditional – finally got around to recording this amazing guitar. Gernot has been building at a very high level for a long time. This guitar made me want to play it more than I had time. The recording is long, with me just fiddling with her, getting to know her. I simply got lost in her. Clear and powerful, sing and voice, basses that bloom with trebles that ring.
My Solo Book of sheet music is available here if you’re interested.
