Notes on Construction

This Classical guitar is everything you know about a traditional instrument, except of course, the wood species selection, the bracing pattern, the finish, the feel, the adjustability of neck relief, the compound fretboard radius, and finally, the delicately precise tonality produced. This is a great instrument for the serious and aspiring classical guitarist who wishes to sound both traditional, and unique, while maintaining the highest level of playability and ease of dynamic range.
