2024 German Vazquez Rubio "Solista" SP/BL

This is German's most recent concert model to be developed. Called the "Solista", it features his newest bracing system (which has previously only been used in his top, elite models). This bracing system fattens out the tone particularly in the trebles, giving the guitar an overall warmer sound. This system has been so well received in his elite models that he decided to introduce it in an instrument at a more modest price point while retaining the same high standard of sound. This particular guitar features a beautiful set of Brazilian lacewood for the back and sides which is absolutely stunning. It's also a verylight material which helps in the production of an easy, and immediate attack, much like the responsiveness of a flamenco guitar. However the sound is very rich and warm with lyrical trebles and creamy basses - very elegant sound with ample volume for any concert setting. Playability is a breeze with a very smooth and comfortable neck. The hand-thinned lacquer finish gives the guitar excellent protection from scratching without compromising the sound. All in, this is a very versatile and strong instrument by any standard.
