Here is an excellent condition, 2022 Darren Hippner Esteso Model Classical Guitar.
This is a higher-level classical guitar. It was hand-built by Darren Hippner in his Point Roberts, Washington workshop.
This hand-crafted guitar was made using solid Indian Rosewood for the back and sides, a Cedar neck and a Spruce top. The head stock plate is Brazilian rosewood. The outer bindings are a beautiful flame maple.
There are no cracks in the sides, back or top of this guitar.
Scale length on this guitar is 650 millimeters. Nut width is 52 millimeters. The ebony fretboard is in excellent condition and the guitar has brand new frets. The fret ends have been well polished for smooth playing. Action on the 12th fret low E string is 3.5 millimeters and the 12th fret high E string measures 3.0 millimeters.
The Gotoh high ratio tuning keys are smooth and hold tune well. The label is in excellent condition.
The combination of Indian Rosewood and a Spruce top give this guitar sparkling trebles, while maintaining balanced bass. The 7 fan braces create a very traditional classical sound, full of nuance, instead of the more boomy neutral tones of some large body long scale guitars.
The guitar will be carefully packed and shipped in a good condition case.
