Just strung up two new of my Modern Concert Models. The main difference between these an my more traditional Torres/Hauser/Romanillos style instruments is that they are slightly larger, stiffer and meant to project in a bigger room. They are, however, still relatively traditional by today’s standards. Spanish construction with hide glue, fan bracing, french polish finish.
1. Spruce top, Indian rosewod back and sides, cedro neck with elevated fingerboard, ebony fingerboard, 650mm scale length, 52mm nut width, 58mm string spacing at bridge, Scheller tuning machines with snakewood buttons.

Very happy with how both of them turned out. I’ll be showing the first of the two by appointment in Köln Nov. 12-14th and then at the Antwerp Guitar Festival from Nov. 15-17th. Please contact me if you would like to make an appointment otherwise or see the guitars here in Graz. The second of the two is for a client and will be shipped out in roughly two weeks.
