New. In appearance much in the style of Romanillos, who also produced different body patterns over the years. Lacquered polish throughout; very well done.
These repro guitars are very impressive at the price. They not only copy or mimic shapes, dimensions and decoration but they have some of the feel and sound character of the real thing. This Romanillos model is very pleasing. The sound has real quality, depth, clarity and good balance. Really excellent value, very well finished and satisfying to play. Highly recommended
