2014 Woonsun Lee SP/MP

A 2014 classical guitar by Korean luthier Woonsun Lee, with a spruce top and maple back and sides.

Clarity with a Warm Glow

Spruce gives this guitar clarity and separation of voices, and the maple adds warmth, so the sound is both clear and smooth. Easy to play with both hands, it projects well in any room.

A Look of His Own

The origami-lotus rosette, in long-grain wood that catches the light, and the elegant maple details in the tie block, head and purfling give it a tasteful, unique look.

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.
