2016 Altamira "Sor (Lacote)" SP/MP

This is a fantastic period-style instrument inspired by the guitars of Rene Lacote which is suitable for musicians who are seeking a more authentic sound when playing 19th century music, for example by Fernando Sor or Mauro Giuliani. Although a more compact body size, players will find this extremely easy to immediately adapt to as it has standard measurements of 52mm width at the nut and a 650mm string length. Super easy and very fun to play with plenty of sound for concertizing and the unique quality of sound for period-style sounding recordings. Fitted with vintage style mechanical tuning pegs for modern use but old-school look. Although there is no date on the label, the owner bought it new in 2016 and it remains in virtually like-new condition with only one small (nearly invisible) hairline crack in the top - glued only (no cleats). Overall a fun, quality instrument at a great price.
