Four Classical Guitars Compared (includes two luthier-built instruments)

All guitars have D'Addario normal tension strings. The guitars in order of appearance in the video: 1) 1960's? by unknown maker, sold out of M. G. Contreras shop in Spain ("Guitarreria", Calle Mayor 80, Madrid-13) (cedar, Indian rosewood - 664 mm scale, 53 mm nut, 100 mm deep at neck heel, 105 mm deep at end of body) 2) '73 Manouk Papazian (New York luthier) (spruce, morado - 650 mm scale, 53 mm nut, 95 mm deep x 100 mm deep) 3) guitar by renowned luthier William Cumpiano, made as a demo for one of his classes. It was left in the white until I purchased it in 2022, then it was French polished and allowed to cure before he shipped it (alpine spruce, cocobolo - 650 mm scale, 53 mm nut, 89 mm deep x 95 mm deep). 4) '63 Gibson C-6 (Richard Pick model) (spruce, Brazilian rosewood - 644 mm scale, 51 mm nut, 93 mm deep x 102 mm deep) Note 1: the first guitar (unknown maker sold out of Contreras shop) has something wrong with it! The bridge was removed for a top repair (so I deduce) and glued back on in a climate much drier than Salem, Oregon. As a result the top expanded towards both sides while the bridge of course did not. This produce a puckering of the to halves of the top right where the join in the middle of the bridge. I got the bridge to pull down to the top with hide glue, so there is no gap, but the pucker remains. I believe the fix is to remove the bridge and reattach, but haven't had the nerve to do it yet. This guitar lacks low end frequencies, but the rest of its sound has something special, I think. Note 2: I played the Cumpiano more softly with my right hand, because it is so responsive to every nuance of my playing that I didn't feel I had to push it to get the sound out. It does sound quieter than the others in the video, and that is part of the reason; it may also be a quieter guitar. It has a great sound and incredible clarity. It is the easiest to play of the four guitars. The Gibson is the best at bringing out the difficult little-finger hammer-on near the end; the "Contreras" the next best at this. The Brazilian rosewood back and sides on the Gibson add something special to every note on every string.
