Comments:
The guitar is so nice. Easily played, very musical, with nice punch and power. Pretty workmanship, very clean, with a scalloped bridge, slightly radiused fingerboard (making for almost effortless play) and Alessi machines. Nice bonus. Excellent guitar, excellent value under $7K

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. Rich
MP3 Audio – 200506-Tim McCoy Classical Guitar 61 2015 Spruce EIRW – 1 of my new sketches and “Here Comes The Sun” along with some discussion about the guitar. I found the guitar incredibly powerful, easy to play, with a lot of oomph in her, while enjoying a wholly musical character. Clear and responsive in all regards. Enjoy!

Ted –
Tim McCoy makes a fantastic classical guitar. He is the student of the legendary John Gilbert and is carrying on his legacy of building fine handcrafted instruments. I have a spruce top serial number 60 and I love it. Although it is a traditional braced spruce top, it has the projection and clarity you might expect from a lattice braced guitar. If you’re looking for a great guitar under $6500, this is definitely one to consider!!!
