As Wolfgang writes…I build my signature guitars with double top, a sandwich of nomex between two layers of solid, but very thin cedar or spruce tops.
The neck/body joint combines the construction of the traditional Spanish heel with a free floating fingerboard, in use for violins since centuries. The idea behind this was to get back all the flavours of sound character from the full size guitar top, and not squeezing the upper bout of the top between the glued on ebony fingerboard and upper harmonic bar.
For back, sides and bridge I prefer to use Granadillo (Platmiscium Yucatanum) wood from Mexico, a traditional tone wood for marimbaphones and very close to the wood data of Cocobolo and Madagascar rosewood. The logs I personaly select at the source and cut them into tone wood myself. Granadillo is not endangered by CITES term.
The sides are double and have a second layer of Cypress inside.
Greatly priced concert guitars!!! Quick response, excellent separation, projection, long sustain for the bass strings and beautiful singing trebles!!!
A must try !!!
An incredible find in Canada !!! Purchased direct from Antonio Marin in Granada Spain…
A lightweight instrument with deep warm basses, beautiful singing trebles, great separation and sustain…
That mesmerizing Granada tone…
The instrument has some repaired surface cracks on the top, but is in very stable condition, it was recently restored by luthier Douglass Scott from Victoria British Columbia,
The guitar is perfectly set up and very easy to play…A must try !
Jose Antonio was the main luthier for 30 years in the house of Contreras guitars until Pablo Contreras passed away, thats when he took charge of the company as the one and only luthier left for 4 years…
In 2015 he decided to build the guitars under his own label and fly with his own wings
This is a incredible guitar with lots of presence, power and projection, just like the many Contreras guitars I have sold & played along the years…
The lush warm Spanish tone is present, with great balance, separation & sustain…
A must try for anyone looking for a high end Spanish concert classical guitar
