Comments:
This was the first and immediately impressive guitar for us from this young Granada maker. Very traditionally built, it has immediate strength, focus, clarity and the projection and range of tone quality make it a worthy concert guitar. The tuning is particularly good with very accurate fret positioning and intonation compensation. The trebles are clear and round and the basses have a crisp, well-defined quality that preserves the bottom octave of each note. A really terrific, Spanish guitar - very well worth considering if seeking a good concert instrument on a budget.
