1994 Jose Asturias Model 100
(his top of the line concert classical)

SOLID BRAZILIAN back and sides. Jose Asturias is generally regarded as the greatest Argentine guitar maker ever--and thus one of the very best (if not the best) from South America, as Argentina has by far the most distinguished history in regard to the classical guitar.

Also note: Not to be confused with the Japanese line of guitars which has taken his name.

Exquisitely detailed throughout--the photos look great; the real thing looks even better. Standard scale/fret width [650/52]. All solid wood, of course: Jacaranda body and headstock face, cedar top, ebony fretboard and bridge (highly unusual), ebony re-enforced mahogany neck is true and plays like a dream. Gold-plated tuners, lacquer finish, deluxe binding.

And a sound to match the looks: full, firm basses, bell-like trebles, good volume/sustain but not a cannon--a guitar of refinement, warmth and nuance.

Comes with brand new deluxe hardshell case.
