SP Luthier Notes: Setup Confirmed
Stephen Marchione's words
"For my classical guitars, I use my original design based on historic models that I feel are successful, utilizing standard dimensions that musicians are comfortable with and understand. I've taken these parameters and crafted a historically rooted yet modern and satisfying instrument.
"This beautiful classical guitar is constructed face down, with hot hide glue, and on an engineered Solera in the traditional Spanish method. I only use hot hide glue in construction, and I hand plane all surfaces prior to glue-up. My classical guitars are French polished, and the setup will astound you.
"My classical design combines the ease of playability and tonal accuracy of a Gilbert guitar, the warmth and richness of tone of a Fleta, and the power and projection of a Rodriguez Jr. guitar from the 1970s.
"After all, the musician is the one who creates their art with the guitar that I make. I want your experience to be as seamless and expressive as possible and feel as if the guitar is part of you. For me, this is a powerful and seductive musical instrument that inspires creativity and a desire to sing with the guitar."
