This is a tribute to Antonio de Torres guitar with European spruce top. Spanish cypress solid sides and back. 16 inch body size. Three piece back arched with three braces, purfling in bloodwood. The Waverly banjo-style tuners with ivoroid knobs really stand out on this instrument. Strong acoustic sound and clear, yet warm amplified character. Spanish cedar neck that makes the guitar sing and respond to the slightest touch. Old style 10 inch radius Madagascar rosewood fingerboard. Half-herringbone inlay around the top and along the fingerboard. Half herringbone on the headstock as well. Charlie Christian Adjustable pickup, nickel plated vintage tailpiece in ES-150 style with jack output in the base. Bakelite volume and tone knobs.
Included refurbished (by Daniel) in real leather Ess & Ess case. Structurally a fine case made by the Ess & Ess company from Brooklyn. Purple Silk Plush interior. The Ess & Ess company logo is in place, all latches and hinges work fine, the case is structurally in excellent shape. The old black tolex covering is removed as well as all the hardware and new real leather with snake embossed pattern is applied. Embossed leather is cowhide that has been “stamped” with a decorative or exotic pattern. The leather is full-grain aniline cowhide finished with oils, natural waxes and resins. Surface with shiny appearance and ancient effect in color: Cognac. New premium quality real leather brown handle. All original hardware is re-used. After restoration a fully functional case with a luxury feel and charismatic looks.
