2016 Woonsun Lee "Limited" SP/CSAR

A 2016 "Limited" classical guitar by Woonsun Lee, with a spruce top and a gorgeous set of CSA rosewood back and sides – No. 151, our first "Limited" from him.

Limited-Stock Rosewood

The "Limited" label marks woods from his limited stock. The spruce top gives clarity and separation while keeping a cedar-like fullness, and the response is loose and quick in the southern Spanish manner.

Craftsmanship

The lotus rosette in long-grain wood and the maple accents show his understated style. Easy for both hands and projecting beautifully, it is a guitar we can recommend to any discriminating performer.

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.
