Overview: The rare musical instrument offered here is Gary Southwell's Torres Homage based on the Antonio de Torres Jurado (1817-1892) guitar which is in the Paris Conservatoire collection. (Learn more about this classical guitar maker).

Regarding this guitar's elegant concert voice: There is not much one can or probably should attempt to write concerning such a refined spectrum of musical color, dynamics, and articulation except that this instrument's smooth deep sound is exceptional in every way: play, listen carefully, enjoy - exquisite.

Materials: Spruce soundboard, satinwood back and sides, mahogany neck with a perfectly executed V graft head to neck joint, ebony fingerboard. An intricate rosette and purfling design and a rosewood bridge with mother of pearl inlay further go to make this an immaculately crafted, visually stunning guitar. Custom Rodgers tuning machine heads with mother of pearl oval buttons, 650mm string length, hard shell case.
