Classical Guitars
Handmade in Sydney Australia
Classical Guitar
I offer three exquisite models of the Classical Guitar.
Each model is hand made in the traditional Spanish style with modern contemporary touches in my workshop at Sydney Australia. All my guitars feature the same soundboard bracing design with loud volume, highly responsive to the right hand, huge presence, and great dynamic contrast.
