This guitar is a masterpiece that was built by himself in finest handcraft. It can be dated to the time around 1890.
It has a fine spruce top and rosewood back and sides. The scale length is 640 mm and the nut witdth 50 mm.
The quality of sound produced from this nice guitar has a great richness and harmonious quality. Upon listening to this guitar one marvels at how beautiful the actual sound itself is and of how the notes blend together and yet maintain their clarity and separation.
