2018 traditional model

My traditional model is based on the Hernandez y Aguado design – a fan bracing with an additional oblique treble bar which enhances sound balance and treble response. It has a typical Spanish sound with very good volume and a clear strong voice over the whole scale

Back and sides IRW
Top Italian Spruce
Neck: carbon reinforced cederela with elevated fingerboard
Tuner Van Gent 310
Fingerboard African ebony
Bracing Hernandez y Aguado

This instrument has all the virtudes of my traditional model: very good sound balance, precise tone with good definition, sofisitcated timber with good volume. If you are looking for an affordable instrument with superior sound caractiristics and good playability, this is a very good choice.

I do build on order and the normal waiting time is 4-5 month

The non CITES woods I can offer you for backs and sides are:

Padouk, Mexican Grenadill, Pau Ferro, Wenge, Canarywood, Black Walnut, Tigerwood, African Mahogony and Maple. I have also East Indian Rosewood, African Ebony and Amazone Rosewood.

The tuners I do offer are :Schaller Grandtune with oval Snakewood or Ivoroid handles, Gotoh 1800 with Ivoroid Handles, and Van Gent Deluxe with Ivoroid handles, Rubner Hauser  special with ebony handles or Perona on request.
