Comments: Just Arrived! Another highly anticipated classical guitar from Maksim Cuker of Vilnius, Lithuania.  Seriously powerful with a bite and thrust in the trebles, while beautiful punch and push in her basses.  Articulate in her voices, clear and brilliant.  I can keep her warm as well, but she colors effortlessly with my right hand position.  Set up to play well with driving ability, I found her very comfortable.  Max comes to me through the recommendation of a good client.  I’m happy I listened. Condition is excellent with a handful of tiny nail ticks in and around the rosette, treble side. I also did a full setup on the guitar, adjusting action, making certain the saddle was solidly touching all areas of the bridge slot, adjusted the nut, she’s singing like songbird now. ___________ 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.
