How did you
record the acoustic/classical guitar? Where's you place
the mic/mics? I like the sound of that instrument a lot.
It's mostly the guitar - hand made Jose Morales classical, Spanish
cedar top, bookmatched rosewood back and sides, hand made rosette, all
wood binding. It's a beautiful instrument. I picked it up in Granada
Spain at Jose Morales' shop in 1978 for $150 (with case ;-) I've played
it next to $3000+ Ramirez guitars and it blows them away. I used a
cheap Marshall 603 condenser mic about a foot away from where the
fingerboard meets the body and a cheap Marshall 2001 about 3 feet away
and more towards the bridge. I used a little Gverb on both sides and
some Tape Delay Simulation on the 603.

The guitar, as well as the player, are both keepers.
