Fine Hand-made Guitars
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.
I can also make these with a cutaway (the body will be approximately 1/8-inh deeper front to back.
This one also has an under-saddle pickup.
