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). https://www.savageclassical.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/231026-2022-Rafal-Turkowiak-466-OM-Acoustic-Spruce-Ziricote-Pickup.mp3   My Solo Book of sheet music is available here if you’re interested. https://savageclassical.com/product/richard-f-sayage-solo-guitar-works-volume-1/ _____________ Video _____________ Shipping Premium Single Arch Top or Double Arch HSC is included in your purchase price.
