Maxwell Sipe Classical Guitar 2014 Spruce EIRW
Comments
Max builds a superb classical guitar. My last one was a Cedar (see photos – from the archive). This new classical guitar is a Spruce with symmetrical bracing, as per Max. Beautiful woods, thoughtful and careful build, excellent workmanship all work out to a clear, bright and beautiful guitar that plays and sings. Label says 2013, but it was late 2013, left to cure. I originally received this guitar back in early 2014. Excellent guitar, beautiful voice, nice work by Max.
The case is a Hiscox LiteFlite Pro II
Strung with Savarez Alliance HT classical guitar strings
The guitar is pre-owned, taken care of very well, with minimum play wear on the top, the slightest finger marks on the top in and around the rosette. Back and sides are very nice. The guitar is discounted appropriately. Feel free to make a legitimate offer on her. Talk soon. Rich

I just opened her up after letting her sit in the studio acclimating to the humidity and environment. The guitar is still relatively young, but wow, she sounds old already. Clean bright lines, voices, and separation. Love this guitar.
