New Stephen Hill Blanca

My new blanca has arrived

.
Made by Stephen Hill one of our members.
She is actually incredible, I'm stunned. Bright sounding, very open, crisp and with a powerful flamenco voice. She's only weeks old yet she can produce a raw cutting sound or a sweet lyrical voice. Very vibrant and alive. The sound comes from inside the guitar and not from the surface like most new guitars.
Workmanship is first class and I think she is just great.
Some pictures below.
