This model is an exact reproduction of the so-called Tárrega guitar (FE 17), which was built by Antonio de Torres in 1864. It is one of his smaller models and counted at that time to be one of his ‘better and more expensive’ guitars…
Made in the Milestone Luthier Centre, that was founded in the year 2013 by Wolfgang Jellinghaus & Michael Zhang.
The goal of the Milestone Luthier Centre is to rebuild the history of classic guitar making by selecting six different master builders from the past 230 years who set new standards for the guitar making in terms of construction & sound
The R & D centre is in Dortmund Germany & the guitar making workshop is in Guangzhou China
We are proud to be the Canadian dealer of Wolfgang Jellinghaus guitars
