This is a very beautiful instrument with almost no signs of playing, you have to search for any imperfections and even then come up short. Hate to sell it but arthritis dictates sticking with my 640 scale guitar. The following is an email from the luthier: "The guitar is an original. I built 3 of these small body Torres style guitars over a year ago. The one you got was the best of the three."
Here's what the appraisal said: Model: Hippner Torres #574. Graded A1A. Scale 650mm. Nut 52mm wide. String spacing at nut 42mm. String spacing at 12th 50mm. Bridge spacing 58mm.
