I love those Kim’s guitar. Interesting that even using nylon for the first string it still rings like crazy and doesn’t sound muddy. Spruce is looking great, and sounds awesome in this case.
That is one BIG sounding guitar. We Aussies can do some things well and Kim has obviously found his true calling in putting guitars together. I could hear that boom compared to the previous upload that I was watching and had to turn it down a bit. As always, great playing and guitar assessment and review. -Mark from Australia.
I owned one of Kim's guitars several years ago. While it was loud, it did not have a tone you could embrace. My new Cedar / Ziricote is even louder but has a beautiful resonant tone without a hint of lattice type artifacts. He has improved his instruments immensely. I love mine.
Wonderful guitar, it sounds like you're really enjoying it. Even through my phone I was able to hear how loud it is. What stands out the most is it's lyrical sound and precise intonation.
Got to play a 2024 Lissarrague yesterday in an extremely dead acoustic environment. Had a 2024 Kellaway to contrast it with and that sounded like a dull mouse. The Lissarrague was HUGE. Really open omph sound. Fantastic if you want to play hard. The big issue is I need to work out is - is it good at anything other than playing really loud? Though the Kellaway is a bit weak sounding, the tone is way sweeter and feels much easier to control tone. So yeah, Lissarrague is very modern. It's great fun, felt easy to play even though the action was a bit high. Also want to second the comments that Lissarrague has changed heaps over the years. My highschool buddy bought one in 2006 and that was nothing like the guitar I played yesterday.
Really great channel. You have great presentation skills. Eminently listen-able in all respects. Ill definitely check out your website. PS I've never heard Lagrima so played so beautifully...where did you study?
@@itstheguitarcollection Impressive credentials. No way. I very briefly studied with Adam (Holzman). Besides being virtuosic, he's just a hell of a nice guy. And so modest too.
Really bad this one! Lots of clarity and strength but very stiff and nasal lattice sound and believe it or not someone will be interested in paying lots of money for it. We live in a crazy world!
Hey Sal, in one way it makes sense to use the exact same strings in each video, but truthfully, some guitars work better with slightly different string setups. I usually have on whatever I think sounds best on that instrument. That being said, most videos, including this one is Daddario's EJ45ff set (carbon) but with a D'Addario high tension nylon 1st string.
@itstheguitarcollection I'm always curious of the strings during guitar reviews. I like the sound with those strings on this review! Cool new page too, I'm amazed you're coming across so many high end guitars
sorry,scrivo in italiano. tu avevi comprato un deluxe in maple giusto? perché lo hai cambiato? funziona meglio lo ziricote per il suono che cercavi? sento una chitarra dal sound big ma educata,davvero ottima molto pulita come estetica. Many compliments
What a lovely sound! I’m considering getting my first lattice guitar having always played Traditional models but also want to keep playing my existing guitars. Is it possible/easy to regularly switch between Modern and Traditional guitars?
Hey Phil, I love to play all kind of guitars, and the real difference between modern and traditional is mostly in the tone color that is usually thicker on a lattice, and more sustain ( but not always) and maybe the feeling to have more dynamics. But the real feeling is for the audience, they receive a huge projection with lattice….. traditional has a tiny sound compared.

Thank you, Philippe! You have played so many!

I love the sound of this guitar, beautiful, wow.

Thank you so much! It is very easy to play, he's a magical. Nice to see you here - cheers
Good stuff Evan, it sounds great even through TH-cam. Have to say that I’m loving the Redgate.

Thank you very much! I'm so glad to hear! My main teachers and mentors were/are Bruce Holzman, Rene Izquierdo, and Adam Holzman.

Are you using carbon strings on all your reviews or does each guitar have a different string setup?

what sound dir the maple guitar have compare to the one ziricote? kim guitar.
I wont speak for Kim, but I remember him saying the outside wood is a veneer, so it doesn't change the sound.
Great sound but very expensive guitar
It sounds like a piano
Awesome sounding instrument! I didn't expect much when i first saw the video, but wow!
Wow that first string really sings
