New Guitars (some used at the bottom) 

SOLD  Classical guitar after Antonio de Torres., 1888, $2800
 
European spruce top and Amazon rosewood back and sides.  Spanish cedar nech.  Gold Schaller tuners with ebony buttons.
12-hole Brazilian rosewood bridge, ebony fretboard.  650mm scale, 52mm at the nut, 2.25 inch (standard) spacing at the bridge.
Bone nut and saddle.  This is my best attempt to reproduce the 1888 Torres.  Ebony binding.  Finish is French polish.

The sound is full, even, loud, and very "classic".  This guitar is very responsive and has the bright trebles and punch you expect

from Amazon rosewood and European spruce.  It also has great balance across the fretboard and solid bass.

You can hear Andrew York play the guitar that this guitar was modeled upon here:
