Class

When I listened to the guitar of great twentieth century’s luthiers as Hauser, Garcia, Simplicio and Rubio, I was amazed by the quality of these sounds. Power, balance and especially the wide range of tone colours touched me, I still remember these sounds very well!
More than ten years ago, inspired by that experience, I designed my Class model.
For this guitar I use only the best woods, seasoned at least fifteen years, selected on the base of the cutting and the vibration.
The sides and base of the model are made of indian rosewood which gives increased dynamics and tone results.
The fan bracing system follows the ancient tradition of the master written above, I added a reinforcement below the bridge in order to get the best tonal response and make a boomy soundboard.
When I choose the woods for this model I use a spectrum analyzer which is a guarantee of excellent results.
The rose cut is a design of mine which I have been using since the very beginning for this model. It is an asymmetrical patchwork of different types of wood, inspired by the works of the spanish artist Picasso.
If you are looking for a guitar with increased dynamics and projection this model is for you: tradition and progress all in one instrument!
I am proud of this guitar as it was used by several artists and for the recording of many albums.
