This beautifully crafted guitar is a replica of the famous La Leona (FE 04) by Antonio de Torres. It has a fine spruce top and a very beautiful back made of birdseye maple – definitelly the most spectacular maple we have seen so far. The sides are also made of the same birdseye maple. The guitar has a scale length of 650 mm and a nut width of 51 mm. This guitar plays great with a low action (3.7 mm E and 2.8 mm e at the 12th fret) and a straight neck.
Words are not enough to describe the rich and harmonious sound of this excellently built Torres La Leona by Darren Hippner 2021 Classical Guitar. Be it the beauty of individual notes, melodic sequences or the blending of notes in counterpoint or chordal harmony – this fine guitar inspires in all aspects. In addition, there is the unique experience of feeling the resonance of the guitar on your own body while playing, which is possible due to the very light construction of the guitar.
This is one of the best Torres replicas we have ever had in our store. We can recommend the guitar without reservation.
