Classical Guitars - Kent Guitar Classics

Stephen Hill - La Herradura, Spain

• Year:

  2009 - no. 152

• Body:

  South American rosewood - beautiful figuring. Simple boxwood purflings.

• Front:

  European spruce - a really good top with even grain and lots of medullary rays showing it to be well-quarter-sawn. Attractive geometric rosette with matching purflings and rosewood bridge.

• Tuners:

  Nicolo Alessi with Hauser-shaped sideplates and snakewood buttons.

• Scale:

  64 cm - helpful for smaller hands

• Neck Width:

  50 mm at the nut - again, helpful for smaller hands

• Weight:

  1532 grams

• Condition:

  All shellac french-polished.
  In original condition - we find no scratches or marks - so just in case there is something tiny we have not found - we'll say 99% as new.

• Comments:

  This is a small-bodied, shorter scale guitar in the style of the 'Romantica' model produced by Ramirez in Madrid. Small-bodied guitars can be very satisfying to play as the sounds seems to come out of the box so quickly giving a sense of immediacy. The body size and shorter scale would obviously help the smaller player and / or someone with small hands.
  An unusual, smaller size guitar with clear, bright sound in immaculate condition.
