The label reads "Marcelo Barbero (Hijo) para casa de Arcangel Fernandez". This guitar has a wonderful, dark sound with bold basses and strong trebles. It sounds like an old spruce top Miguel Rodriguez (at considerably lower price) from the same era.

For this special model, Henner used only his best materials; they include: a very densely quarter-sawn, Western red cedar top and very old rosewood for the sides and back. The guitar is quite powerful, offering a rich, textured quality of tone with thick basses and lyrical trebles.

This guitar by Italian luthier Paolo Coriani is an exquisitely-made instrument in the style of Manuel Ramirez. Materials are top-quality, with a well-aged and beautiful set of CSA rosewood back & sides. Fit and finish of the guitar are extremely well done - the French polish has an almost mirror-like quality to it!

With this, Teodoro continues in the spirit of his previously-released 50^th anniversary model and calls this reincarnation the "Especial Aniversario". It is built using his best materials and features fancier inlay work than his regular "Especial".

Daniele claims the inspiration in his work comes primarily from the work of Hauser I and of the Spanish luthiers Antonio de Torres, Esteso and Enrique Garcia. Those historic instruments have extraordinary musical timbral characteristics that Daniele also seeks to capture in his guitars.

This is our 4^th guitar from this talented young maker - and our first with these great materials: cedar for the soundboard and a beautiful set of African rosewood for the back & sides. This is Elias' traditional model, which is built with a five-fan bracing pattern and uses solid, well-aged woods.
