sus Serrano a very good friend of mine. Jesus Serrano is a guitar virtuoso from Mexico City and has won 1st place at many international guitar competitions. When Jesus approached me with the idea of a new guitar model, I became very eager to hear his ideas. This turned into a months-long enjoyable collaboration to design one of the best guitars I have ever built thus far.
Yes I played and was later interviewed for the Star Telegram. It is a great venue with some real talent giving their best vocals, guitar solos and more!
Cocobolo / Cedar Concert Classical Guitar w/Raised Neck (sold)
#201105
This concert classical guitar has a master grade western red cedar top, beautiful premium Cocobolo back and sides with a striking cocobolo head plate. The guitar has a feature in which the top is slightly domed and the front is lowered to create a raised neck (elevated fretboard) that allows easier access to the upper frets. We take the upmost care in tuning each guitar to the potential it deserves. Many testing hours go into each guitar with regard to sound and balance. The sound is powerful and clear, with a nice color to the tone. There is fine handmade woodwork and marquetry throughout. |
