2022 Wilson Burnham Lola Redwood Oregon Myrtle

Comments

Just arrived, this guitar, named “Lola”, is another superb example of the beauty and warmth of Western Redwood used as a top soundboard!  The Oregon Myrtle is stunning to look at giving this guitar a wholesome, pretty, full bodied voice, a touch darker, while exhibiting excellent power as well, and being easy to play.  Excellent work by the master luthier from Colorado.  Wilson’s work was intriguing and accessible price-wise to me.   I was pleasantly surprised at how easily she plays, her warmth, clarity and projection.  The guitar is strung with Savage Classical Guitar high tension strings.

The guitar is built with 7 brace fan, symmetrical, allowing for balance throughout her ranges.

She has voice and is quite powerful.  I’m looking forward to recording with the guitar today!

About Wilson Burnham – “I hand craft classical guitars in a small studio outside of Allen’s Park, Colorado.

I use only hand tools and high quality woods to make my guitars. This allows me to make a guitar that has a true singing voice, one that is loud and has a large range of tonal colors and nuances.

As a classical guitar player myself, I know the joy of playing a truly wonderful guitar – one that sings, is responsive to your playing style, is easy to play with a voice that reaches the last row of seats in a recital or concert hall, and most of all, a guitar that you fall in love with so much you never want to stop playing it.

That is the kind of guitar that I make.” – Wilson Burnham

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 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 Audio230216-2022 Wilson Burnham Lola Redwood Oregon Myrtle – warm, dark and beautiful, with lilting highs that ring out above the voice, while the basses whoosh and blossom.  Man, that’s a great guitar.

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