• Comments:

  Such a lovely instrument that feels and sounds very much in the style of Enrique Garcia / Torres.
  It has a lovely deep sound (air resonance between E & F) and a clear, characterful middle and treble with surprising volume and impressive projection. Once you let the sound and feel of guitars like this get under your skin, much more modern instruments are something different.
