This model of guitar is built absolutely handcrafted, each part of the guitar, from the bigger to the smaller piece is handmade as one can see in the pictures I will post below.

I make this guitar following the techniques of construccion of Antonio de Torres and other guitar makers as Santos Hernandez, Herman Hauser or Hernandez y Aguado, wich I learned in the European Institut of Guitar Making with masters Stephen Hill and Pablo Requena.

I use a fun strut with 7 bars and 2 more at the bottom making the "V" form.

The dimensions of the body are not very big, I consider they are in the middle of the way between a classic and a flamenco guitar, it gives comfort to play and at the same time produce a very well balanced sound with good sustain and quality.

 The finishing I use for the whole guitar is French Polish with shellack. 

ROSETTE PROCESS:

BRIDGE PROCESS:

HEAD, NECK AND HEEL(wedges sistem) PROCESS:

I use the wedges method to secure the sides into the heel, I learned this method with  Stephen Hill and it is the same method used by the great guitar maker José Romanillos. It is my believe that it really increases the quality of the intrument becouse the wedges  reinforces  this point of the guitar and at the same time permit a perfect finish and look.
