Taro Wayama performs his composition "Lullaby" on a 2012 Woon Sun Lee

Description

A 2012 classical guitar by Woonsun Lee, with a cedar top and maple back and sides – one of the first guitars we had from him, pre-owned and in near-mint condition.

In the video above, Taro Wayama plays his own "Lullaby" on this guitar.

Lush Cedar, Warm Maple

The cedar top gives a lush harmonic richness from bass to treble, and the maple adds a warm glow, for a very smooth, warm sound with strong projection.

Playability

Playability is superb, with the loose, quick response of the southern Spanish schools. The lotus rosette and maple accents already show the style he is known for, and there are almost no signs of prior use.

Background

Woonsun Lee: Korean Classical Guitar Maker

Woonsun Lee is a South Korean classical guitar maker in Seongnam, Gyeonggi Province. A guitarist first – he decided to devote his life to the guitar after hearing Kazuhito Yamashita play Rodrigo's "Concierto de Aranjuez" – he apprenticed in Paju, building hundreds of student and concert guitars, restoring historical instruments and studying the models of Torres and Bouchet. In 2009 he set up his own workshop, building only concert guitars.

Exclusively at GSI in the USA

His style is understated, elegant and flawlessly executed, recognizable by the origami-lotus motif in the rosette and fine maple accents in the tie block, head and purfling. His "Limited" guitars are made from woods of limited stock, as the label notes. GSI is Woonsun Lee's exclusive dealer in the USA.
