The finishes are simple and sober, but also elegant.

His sound, powerful and quick, is excellent regarding quality and personality, with a flamenco character taken to the extreme, where we find bass strings with perfectly balanced bright and depth, and trebles with an open timbre, laden with nuances.

This guitar has the highly-valued “rebound beating” on the right hand, combined with fantastic softness on the left one, thus accomplishing the “perfect instrument”, should we want to spend hours and hours playing non-stop with a nice feeling of ease.
