2023 Teodoro Perez "Especial" CD/PF

The "Especial" is the top model from the Perez shop, and offers the absolute best in terms of decoration and materials. The sound is very distinctly Spanish, with a full, romantic tone and quick attack. Clarity is excellent, and there is plenty of volume for any setting including ensemble work, while retaining exceptional quality of sound. The materials selected for this model are top-notch, featuring an exquisitely dramatic set of pau ferro with all kinds of rich contrasts and dramatic figuring patterns in the grain - simply breathtaking. It also features more elaborate detailing work, including additional purfling and inlay in the top, back and sides. Simply put, this is a fantastic and gorgeous top-level concert guitar by any standard.
