Overview: This is a very powerful, elegant
sounding and looking concert guitar by Eric Monrad, one of the finest makers practicing the
art of lutherie in the U.S.A. today. (To view photos of this guitar

The synthesis of a
Romanillos body plantiilla and modified Miguel Rodriguez inspired bracing
pattern works exceptionally well here, making for a creamy smooth, traditional
sounding, classical guitar with an unusually large dynamic range. Expect quick
round sparkling trebles, firm basses, wonderful depth and evenness of sound,
excellent playability, exquisite materials and workmanship ranking with the
finest in the world. In sum, a delight to the eye, lovely to listen to, a
pleasure to play, this musical guitar is a wonderful example of lutherie art at
its finest. (
