I recently bought a De Cascia “Sonia” model (cedar/Indian rosewood) at the Grand Salon de Guitare and I couldn’t be happier with it. I want to congratulate Paul for getting a guitar built that has world class sound and that features lattice bracing, raised fretboard, sound port and an arm rest for such an affordable price. This is unheard of in the classical guitar world. The guitar is modern in design but does not have that artificial ‘steril’ sound that some modern built guitars have. Both the cedar and spruce tops have very good volume, excellent tone, long sustain and are very musical. Not everyone can afford guitars that cost $6,000 – $10,000 and above. I compared the De Cascia “Sonia” model to guitars that cost $8,000 and I preferred the sound, playability and feel of the De Cascia. I can tell that Paul truly loves what he does and that he wants to help every customer find the right guitar whether they are a beginner, collector or professional guitarist. I highly recommend Paul and the Grand Salon de Guitare!
