Comments
Just arrived, I will write more as I become more familiar with the guitar. This is from Roy’s “Vintage” Series back in 2009. The guitar was meticulously cared for, being in Excellent Condition. She displays a very clean voice, resonant, imminently playable. Reminds me very much of a Martin Style Acoustic. Comes in an original black dreadnought HSC. A seriously nice steel string guitar.

Media
Listening with high quality headphones or audio equipment is highly recommended
MP3 Audio – 201014-2009 Roy McAlister 219 00 Vintage Cutaway Spruce Mahogany – “The Black Gum Jambo” (thematic material anyway, as it not quite finished and then “The Black Oak Harp” Richard F. Sayage – written back in 2003 at the Bayard Cutting Arboretum in Great River, NY – I was with my Mom and 2 girls when this Black Oak started swaying back and forth in the wind. It was gorgeous and this music came to me like a dream.
– the music is NOT in the book below. Rich
MP3 Audio – 201014-2009 Roy McAlister 219 00 Vintage Cutaway Spruce Mahogany_a – this is more about “The Black Gum Jambo” and a slight comparison to an older Takamine EF-360S (“lawsuit guitar”) that I acquired and setup back in the day. The less expensive Takamine is a great guitar, but you can hear how it can get away from you vs. the absolute control you have over a well built luthier guitar. The McAlister is simply tight and whole throughout her range.
My Solo Book of sheet music is available here if you’re interested.
