CITES Eligible – $200 fee to process – read link to the left 1959 Manuel Velazquez #17 Spruce CSA Comments: The guitar is quite beautiful. One owner all of her life. The owner had the guitar repaired on the back, cleats, all professionally done, very stable, and accurately documented, with paperwork. The patina on this guitar is gorgeous. The sound is superb, mellowed and melodious, highly musical and expressive. She is setup quite low as well, 3.2mm at the low E and 2.5mm at the high E 12th fret, unfretted. ___________ 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 – 190606-1959 Manuel Velazquez #17 Spruce CSA – smooth sounding as melted butter, the age and maturity are tough to match. Setup to play fast, she’s a dream.
