Action 3.6mm & 3.25mm Low E to High E CITES Eligible – Paperwork not required 2016 Frederich Holtier #132 Spruce Satinwood Comments A beautiful guitar by the master from Ohio. The attractive Satinwood coupled with a master grade Spruce creates a warm and luscious sound with an excellent setup for ease of play and sound production. He creates a natural sound using all wood for the honeycomb, CNC’ing the material directly on the thickness of the top. “The holes are then closed with a thin layer of Spruce. The fact that the lamination does not reach the edges of the top, gives the guitar a more natural, traditional sound. I did start making this top design since 2003 with small changes during the years.” – as per Frederich. I’m in full agreement with Frederich. The guitar is very natural sounding, with excellent volume and exquisite handling of her expression, with nuance and musicality. She is additionally, very pretty. The Spruce gives her a translucent, almost 3D effect, while the Satinwood is self-explanatory. A superb guitar. Her condition is almost flawless. I found the slightest little nail ticks, away from the bridge and or under the rosette that you have to look hard to see, tilting just the right way toward the light. You can’t see them from a foot away.

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 – 191207-2016 Frederich Holtier #132 Spruce Satinwood – an astoundingly sensitive and evocative instrument, perfectly setup by Frederich himself. I found her very silky in her overall affect, clear and balanced with more than sufficient power when driven. https://www.savageclassical.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/191207-2016-Frederich-Holtier-132-Spruce-Satinwood.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.
