Comments

This guitar is among the cleanest, purest and modern sounding steel strings I’ve ever played.  The guitar has so many features, almost too many to list.  The standout is the guitar itself, coupled with the Carlos VIP DM Electronics Pickup, passive, one of the best, if not the best pickup on the planet.  Black mother of pearl (MOP) machine heads on the Schallers, finished in a custom Turkowiak Case.  Spectacular.  Ryan loves this guitar.

The guitar features:

• 12 fret to body joint
• A Master Grade Alpine Spruce Top
• Flamed Sycamore Neck with Tubes, bindings, resonators
• Carlos VIP DM Electronic Pickup System
• Schaller Black MOP Tuning Machines
• Custom Turkowiak HSC

Media

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 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 – 231026-2022 Rafal Turkowiak 466 OM Acoustic Spruce Ziricote Pickup – An incredibly easy guitar to play, with a clean modern sound for any technique you wish to apply.  Lovely guitar with a really great pickup system.  This recording is solely acoustic using only my mics, (not plugged in).
