This guitar, a spruce top with a lovely set of CSA rosewood back and sides is a true beauty, in terms of both its elegant appearance and incredible tone. Materials and polish are top-notch, and the subtle, clean aesthetics make for a beautiful guitar. The sound is truly impressive, crisp and loud with soulful Granada flair. Condition is excellent with only some very mild playing wear in the finish. A very capable players guitar, and a fantastic value.

Background
Although born in Jaen, luthier Antonio Raya Pardo has lived in Granada since childhood, and until his unfortunate recent passing, was one of the most important names in the Granada school of guitar making. After establishing his own workshop in the early 1970s, he went on to become a prolific maker. With nearly 600 guitars under his belt, Raya Pardo was certainly one of the more experienced luthiers of his time.
