I'm subscribed to GSI - they have such great players and guitars. I've learned several tunes that I first encountered via their YouTube channel.
When this came out last year I remember being so impressed that a guitar that old could sound so wonderful, even accepting that Mr Teicholz is a superb player. So much for classical guitars "wearing out"... cheers, Steve |

I thought about this too. And just think how old this wood must be. I assume it was pretty old back in 1867 dont ya think? I love the tone of this guitar and it is Maple back and sides.

Sounds great. My impression is that while classical players appreciate the historical elements of guitars like this, there is very little of the desire for vintage instruments as you see in steel string players. Wouldn't see something like Tony Rice's D-28 being played as a primary instrument for several generations. Most classical players seem to retire them after a decade or so.
