This guitar is a slightly modified version of an Enrique Garcia (the original, from 1906 is owned by Lorenzo Frignani). The bracing is a 9+2 symmetrical system copied from the original guitar. Some aesthetic details like head shape and rosette are also taken from the original. Her familiarity with the original instrument has proven advantageous since she has done a great job of capturing the spirit of the Garcia - a lightweight build that produces a beautiful and lyrical quality of sound. She also brings to the guitar great clarity and separation between voices and a surprising amount of volume. This is a very versatile instrument which would be suitable for any style of music, for solo playing, or in ensemble. Although "used" this guitar is in excellent condition with barely any signs of prior use.
