2018 Max Sipe Spartan Spruce EIRW
Comments
Max builds a superb classical guitar. This is his “Spartan” model, indicating simpler rosette, binding work, in essence a basic concert model. Excellent woods, workmanship, simple finishing, matte based for lack of reflection, with a real punch to her volume, projection and tone. Tested her out this morning, looked down at the guitar, went “Whoo”, keeper keeper. Really nice guitar at a very accessible price point.
The case is a Humicase Metro II Black HSC. Very nice.
Strung with Savarez Alliance HT classical guitar strings

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 – 190411-2018 Max Sipe Spartan Spruce EIRW – phenomenal guitar, clear, powerful, balance, voiced. Superior instrument for less than superior money. Excellent work all around Max.
My Solo Book of sheet music is available here if you’re interested.
