Magic Guitar 2A Peacock Print Grand Auditorium Acoustic Natural 2022
Magic Guitar 2A Peacock, made in China 2022, natural gloss. Magic Guitar has been around since 2006, selling primarily into the domestic Chinese market. These days they concentrate on the high end of that market, doing a bunch of handmade models with all solid timbers and some amazing details on show. This one was sent to a friend of the store to make some demo videos, and has been basically unused since. It did cop a small knock in transit at some point, so we had out local ninja luthier do a minor headstock repair, which you have to look very hard to see. It's all solid, sporting a truly impressive tightly grained sitka spruce top and some gorgeous Indian rosewood on the back and sides. The sound is clear and crisp, with a fast and strong low end and a lovely balanced midrange; it's really quite impressive. It's my understanding that this guitar sells for around $1000usd new, so it's priced at around half that; quite a snazzy score in my books.
