Custom-designed cutaway classical guitar in rosewood and Engelmann spruce

This is my latest new design:  This one was designed as a custom job for an individual; but I think it's shape and playability will appeal to many players.  The design is based on the soundboard of the 1937 Ex-Segovia guitar by Hermann Hauser Sr.

The sound is full, even, loud, and just wonderful.  I can demo a different guitar for you which sounds very similar to this one.
