1996 Redgate Classical, Brazilian Rosewood/Cedar
Here we’ve landed a wide awake and expressive Redgate from 1996! Brazilian Rosewood body (with arched back) and Cedar top, lattice braced, 650mm scale, and the play marks to show for hundreds of hours of play time. The voice is expressive and clear, and the setup is extra dial-in-able with the inclusion of an adjustable truss rod. Slightly slender neck profile with a flattened U shape; original hardshell case plus case cover.

Jim Redgate is phenomenal, hands down. This 2016 Lattice model is no less than stunning–Brazilian Rosewood body with an arched back, thin and responsive Cedar top, plus arm rest, and an almost frightening amount of projection, without sacrificing sweetness.

Jim Redgate is well known in the classical guitar world for his modern, expressive, and dynamic creations. And when you’ve got talent as serious as Ana Vidovic sporting your guitars–with her own Redgate model no less–you know the hype is real. This 2015 Wave model is a special treat, then, with Brazilian Rosewood body and a Spruce/Cedar double top that’s been “bent” at the upper bout to allow easier access to the elevated fingerboard, as well as add cross-grain stiffness to the top for extra volume and punch. The result is excellent power, balanced across the registers. In short, a work of functional art. This Redgate Wave comes to us from 2015 and is in great playing shape with only a few minor marks.

Jim Redgate’s collaboration with Ana Vidovic has led to one of our favorite classicals to pass through the shop in a long, long time. This is an example of when power plays perfectly alongside poise and elegance. We love the smooth, rich quality that the bass register lends to the voice, and the fact that it blends so easily with the mids and top end. Projection is flawless and crystal; a true concert hall instrument. But this Redgate doesn’t suffer a brittle or harsh tone in order to achieve that volume. Jim manages to coax out balance and power in equal measure.
The back and sides are dramatically figured Ziricote (also at the headplate), and this Ana Vidovic Model features a Spruce double top with lattice bracing and a satin finish for maximum resonance. Elsewhere the guitar is finished to a glossy sheen. An armrest protects the top from the player’s arm, and a slightly elevated fingerboard allows easier access to the topmost frets. This entire operation weighs under four pounds. It’s a lifetime guitar from one of our modern masters.Other keywords: australia, smallman, lutherie, luthier, classical guitar, nylon string, hiscox, reigate guitars, gotoh, 482

A powerhouse. This like new, 2018 Redgate Double Top is an absolute powerhouse, with elegance and musicality to match. The trebles have a strong and vigorous profile that really leaps out of the soundhole, but balances sweetly with the rest of the voice. Ziricote back and sides are here paired with a Cedar double top, Spanish Cedar neck, and an intricate mosaic knot rosette. Jim finished the neck and body with glossy Lacquer, and elected to French Polish the top to a maximally thin matte finish to keep the top plate as resonant as possible—a feat he accomplishes handily here. The entire instrument weighs a slim 3lbs 10oz, has a medium thickness U neck profile, and a 12-hole tieblock.

Jim Redgate has an extremely impressive list of players that endorse his instruments, which is easily understood as soon as you play one. Ana Vidovic and Odair Assad both create music on a Redgate. This particular lattice braced beauty from 2006 is stunning in every way. The low end is very full and has a pleasantly warm sounding, and the trebles are extremely thick and strong. The carved Cocobolo Rosewood back is highly figured and along with the lattice braced Cedar top creates the deeply beautiful voice of this guitar. The power and projection are other-worldly, yet it offers extreme expression as well. Stunning.
