Comments
Another spectacular guitar from the English Master Kevin Aram.
Specs and woods are from Kevin. The guitar is finished in oil, preserving the beautiful grain and nature of the ancient Bog Oak. The Bear Claw Spruce should not be classified European Spruce but more than likely Alpine, as the figuring is rather striking in its 3D effect. Gorgeous!
Kevin corrected me to say that the guitar is built with 5,000 year old Bog Oak, a new one for any of us! It looks like and sounds similar to Ebony, with a direct forceful push to the voices. An incredible guitar with voice and expression, sensitivity and drive, a classical guitar of superior class with grace and elegance.
Kevin is listed among the top luthiers in the UK and quite frankly, in the world of guitar luthiers, for good reason. His guitars are elegant, with workmanship of the highest artisan level, and musical expression to leave one breathless.
Note the lack of Rosewood in the guitar. Very smart. No International restrictions on this guitar, no CITES needed. I prefer to sell this guitar domestically or to have you come to the gallery in person to pick it up.

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 Audio – Coming Soon! – It is a superb guitar!
