| Guitar No. 3 is my third completed instrument. It was built entirely by hand in the Spanish tradition, using Spanish heel construction and traditional fan bracing. Every component was individually made and fitted by hand, with a traditional French polish finish. |
Frequency response chart — to be added
This instrument is a hand-built classical guitar made entirely by a single maker using traditional Spanish construction methods, including a Spanish heel joint and a hand-applied French polish finish.
Each component has been individually selected and worked by hand, including European spruce for the soundboard, eucalyptus for the back and sides, a cedar neck with an internal 10×6mm ebony reinforcing strip, and an ebony fingerboard.
The guitar was voiced and adjusted to achieve a responsive, balanced tonal character with strong bass presence, clear treble articulation, and stable intonation across the fingerboard.
Guitar No. 3 is retained as part of my portfolio and is not currently offered for sale.
About This Instrument
The top is European spruce — responsive, clear, and capable of considerable dynamic range. The back and sides are aged eucalyptus, a wood with a rich, complex grain and a warm tonal character that complements the spruce beautifully.
Built using the Spanish heel method, the neck is integral to the body from the very first stage of construction. This traditional approach, now less common than bolt-on or dovetail joints, contributes to the resonance and tonal unity of the finished instrument.
The finish is traditional French polish — thin, acoustically transparent, and deeply beautiful in the right light.
