2019 Luciano Maggi Cedar Malaysian BW

Comments:

This is another very interesting guitar.  She is classified as a Shaula Classical with Lattice bracing by Luciano (see label photo).  The internals are amazing (see photos).  The guitar is quick, loud, and musical, a monster in every regard.  She is lattice braced, with a sound port by the bass side and an internal diaphragm, all lending itself to the incredible power of this guitar.  The woods are equally gorgeous, using the finest Yellow Cedar board and beautifully figured Ebony (Malaysian Blackwood).  He has always had excellent taste in wood selection using the finest figured and dry aged timbers.

The guitar is seriously worked on the inside.  I cannot say enough.  There is bracing, X patterns, air flow holes in the soundbars, bracing on the back, and so on.  It’s a marvel to look at the inside of this guitar.  I suppose he knows what he’s doing simply because the guitar delivers.  Extraordinary is the word.

Luciano is definitely top of the class from the small world of great Italian makers.  He is creative, inventive, putting forth instruments that deliver on every level.  The guitar must be heard and played to fully appreciate the level of power and lyricism this baby puts forth.  Very impressive.

To be clear, regarding the finish of the guitar, the satin nitro is applied on the top as well as the back and sides, as a coat on top of the resin base treatment.   This base coat (for the finish) is of Luciano’s proprietary mixture.

The machines are highly accurate and very handsome.  The HSC is excellent as well.  The guitar has a very big, open and expansive voice that rings and rings.  Really an incredible guitar, as is her sister guitar, the 2019 Spruce w/Pau Rojo.  The Malaysian Blackwood is a superb cut of wood, as Luciano is very well known for his cache of woods.  Love this guy!

The price includes an Italian built HSC and Express Shipping to the 50US

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 – 190813-2019 Luciano Maggi Cedar Malaysian BW – I had an incredible amount of fun playing this monster of a sweetie. It was getting better as I played it.  It will only improve?  Scary.   Luciano is a supremely talented luthier.  How much fun did I have, you ask?  Well, this recording goes on a while.  Did not get tired of playing her.

My Solo Book of sheet music is available here if you’re interested.
