Classical Guitars

Classical guitars are available ready-made and are also custom made to order. I generally use Indian Rosewood for backs and sides, Engelmann Spruce for soundboards and fan bracing, Honduras Mahogany for necks, ebony for fingerboards, Brazilian Rosewood for bridges—which have tie-blocks trimmed with bone and sometimes with marquetry related to the rosette—Hauser style Schaller tuners, and a 650-mm scale length. Each rosette is usually unique, although patterns can be repeated. Any of these specifications can be changed (such as using Western Red Cedar for the soundboard) on a custom order. All of my classical guitars have a powerful sound, with a full complement of overtones, and comfortable action.
