2008 Contreras II Double Tapa, Cocobolo/Cedar

2008 Manuel Contreras II Double Tapa. Tapa, being the Spanish word for “lid” here, refers to a layer of Cedar lining the back of this guitar, giving it even more of a sonorous quality. Eighteen years old at the time of publication, wide open and powerful.

Staggering beauty in the carve of the headstock, and in the natural appointments inherent to this instrument. Cocobolo for the back and sides, with Red Cedar on top. A powerful and very diverse nylon-string classical guitar.  Other keywords/misspellings: Luthier, lutherie, bespoke, handmade, spain, madrid
