Luciano Maggi Classical Guitar 2016b Lattice Spruce CSA
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 Spruce board from the Stradivari region of Italy and beautifully figured CSA Rosewood. This guitar is the sister to the first guitar, tuned slightly differently, with a real gorgeous figure to the CSA RW.
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.
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 – 180420-maggi-2016b – awesome guitar! Very powerful, very musical, just a big ole WOW. Guitar made me laugh it’s so good. This is right in line with all of the Italian luthiers I met in Rome, and Maggi is sitting right here, blowing me away. Great guitar.
My Solo Book of sheet music is available here if you’re interested.
