This is a typical, traditional Granada guitar made by the son of Antonio Raya Pardo who has helped and done much of the guitars construction for his father since his father contracted cancer some years ago.
The build quality, polishing, decorative details and sound are on the same quality as his father's work and is very pleasing.
It has a roundness of tone throughout the range, is comfortable to play, has a good balance between bass, middle & treble - overall a thoroughly decent, uncomplicated instrument with a refined quality of sound to be expected from a guitar with very good materials and put together with experienced hands. For a mid-price instrument it is very good value for money.Antonio Raya Ferrer - Click here to find out more about this maker
