Classical guitar in rosewood and Engelmann spruce, after 1937 Hauser Sr.

This classic is my best attempt to reproduce the 1937 Ex-Segovia guitar by Hermann Hauser Sr.  It's a wonderful guitar that shows its lineage straight back to Torres.

The sound is full, even, loud, and very "classic".  This is my favorite classical.
