Description:

Frederich Holtier 1997 Signed Concert Classical GuitarThe sound of this guitar will rival many guitars in the$6,000-$8,000 price range.Based on its appearance,this 27-year old guitar was very lightly played over its lifetime and spentmost of its time in its case, which is evident by the absence ofnail marks on the soundboard. Still, its sound has the fullness, robustness,depth and sustain that would meet the demands of many professional classicalguitarists. It has a deep, warm, rich and powerful voice that ifdesired, could also sound quite bright.This guitar it is inexcellent cosmetic condition. From a 2.5-3 ft distance it looks nearmint, but it does have a fewsmall dings. I tried to show them in the last several pictures.The specs are as follows: Scale length: 648 mm.53 mm nut, 45 mm string spacing at nut, 60 mm string spacing at saddle (+/- 0.5 mm).480 mm body length.369 mm lower bout width, 280 mm upper bout width (+/- 1 mm).Body depth 100 mm (+/- 1 mm).12th fret action: 4.0 mm and 3.0 mm (6th string and 1st string).Top: 1/4 sawn spruce with nice birds-eye figure (per F. Holtier).Back and sides: 1/4 sawn Indian rosewood.Bridge: Brazilian rosewood.Fingerboard: ebony.Headplate: Brazilian rosewood.TKL arched case in very good condition (it has a slight closet smell). Some issues that couldbe addressed: Schaller Hauser-style tuners work well, but the 3rd and 4th-string keys are slightly bent and in time could possibly break. Exact replacement tuners for a drop-in installation cost about $100.When playing the bass strings in various positions you might get a slight fret buzz that in my opinion, is at the level of most other concert guitars that I played. When struck with authority, open 6th string generates a rattling sound. The fretboard would benefit from moderate-scope professional attention. The neck is relatively deep, flat-D shape. It’s good for people with large hands, but could be a little difficult for smaller hands. I offer free insured Groundshipping for a winning bidder anywhere in the US lower 48. Internationalshipping will be available at the buyer cost on a case by case basis. Payments shall bereceived within 2 days after closing. I will try to answer any questions frompotential buyers. Contact me if you wish to check the guitar in person.
