Luthier Built Torres Concert Classical Guitar - Spruce & Padauk

From our  Grand Concert model range comes this beautiful guitar, luthier built from highest grade solid  woods replicating an Antonio de Torres1888 design which revolutionized classical guitar building.

The top is built from solid European Alpine spruce, prized for its fine grain and pale colour, giving rise to its name among some luthiers as moon spruce. The bracing is of course Torres 7 strut fan pattern. The back and sides are built from beautiful padauk wood which has a beautiful reddish hue and pale heart wood. The binding is Indian rosewood with fine maple pin striping. The neck is Honduran mahogany with ebony fingerboard and truss spine.

Neither the photos in the image gallery, or the video below, can fully do justice to this fabulous instrument. Until it is viewed in person, held and played, only then can it be appreciated for its incredible level of craftsmanship and performance. Which is why the 'collection in person' buying option is actively encouraged so that buyers can closely inspect and trial instruments before fully commiting to purchase. If any instrument doesn't fully meet expectations then an instant refund will be given.
