2005 Edward Victor Dick Guitars 7 String - Classical Guitar
This is a wonderful example of a 7 string nylon guitar. The dark African Blackwood and Spruce body puts forth a sweet and lively voice that is supremely musical. Rich, full treble strings that sing out the melody and deep, resonant bass that supports perfectly. The low 7th string opens up a world of colors and arrangement possibilities. Often tuned to low C you can explore voicings that are magical and inspiring. Fitted with a cutaway and Gilbert tuners this guitar is versatile enough for a wide variety of musical styles including Classical, Jazz, Brazilian and more. The Spalted Maple trim makes it satisfying to the eye as well as the soul.

Player Reviews:
"This is a wonderful full instrument for the player wishes to explore the sonic possibilities of a 7 String with all it offers for arranging. Or someone simply seeking a new voice. If you've ever seen a 7 string played with skill, it's magical. Such wonderful chord voices and bass lines are possible. This guitar is very lively and crafted from the finest woods. " - Paul Heumiller
"I wish I had more time to spend with this guitar. Having the low C in addition to the standard six strings would open up lots of possibilities. The tone and playability of this instrument are both excellent and the builder is great guy on top of all of that. You can't lose with this one." - Al Petteway
