MICHAEL RITCHIE 2021 Spruce 640 scale


This is Michael Ritchie's Sanfeliu inspired model with a beautiful rubbed oil finish. As always with Michael's guitars it is very easy on the left hand due to the expertly sculpted radiused neck and fairly low action.
The guitar has a strong attack with a gradual decay, the sustain being held up by the exactly pitched overtones.
The oil finish gives the guitar a lovely natural feel and look and the tone is a little more woody than one would get with French polish.
This model of guitar is fantastic value from a luthier who is really making a name for himself worldwide.
