He is a pioneer in the construction of historical instruments and a creative luthier, who had constantly continued developing his models during his 50-year career. The top of this guitar is made of cedar in Doubletop-construction (Aramid). Back and ribs are made of Indian roseweood with the the sides and back veneered with Amazonas rosewood.
