The Andrew Manson Kingfisher Custom Acoustic Guitar is demo'd in the Sound Pure Acoustic Guitar showroom. The instrument is recorded utilizing a pair of Neumann U87Ai Microphones into a Vintech X73i preamp. The recording was made completely dry (no EQ, no effects), and was made in a non-treated acoustic room in the Sound Pure facility, proving that this great guitar and great recording gear can produce gorgeous sounding results even in spaces that weren't designed to make recordings. This gently used instrument is available from the Sound Pure Guitar collection, as is all of the recording gear used.
