• Comments:

  This concert model from John Ray has its roots firmly associated with the traditional patterns of Torres and Hauser combined with many Granada influences and the legacy of having learned so much in former years from Rolf Eichinger.
  This lovely instrument has a more rounded, sweeter treble character than many Granada guitars combined with a crisp, focussed sound and deeper bass voice. It offers much flexibility in the range of tone colours that can be found, resulting in a very expressive instrument suitable for a wide range of repertoire. It is also very well set up hence very comfortable to play and perform with.
  For refinement and purity of sound, for quality of materials and build, this is a class act.
