#3...finished awhile back, just neve... 
#1 and #2 both sold to Burke Williams, a guitarist in LA, Facebook, etc. He came down and bought #1, loved #2, so drove back and bought the second one.

A nice compliment. He said that during some hard times in the 80's, he'd sold a '62 Conde Hermanos, and my #2 reminded him "soooo much of that guitar" that he had to have mine. So...he did...

He's also supposed to be doing an online review, too.

#3
Spanish cypress
Englemann spruce top
Spanish cedar neck
German spruce bracing
655mm
54mm at nut
Santos Hernandez pattern
Ebony fretboard
Cocobola headstock and bridge
Traditional ebony pegs, built with my secret technique so they tune rather easily

VERY percussive and bright, excellent accompaniment instrument for dancers.

Going into the classifieds so I can finish #4 and start #5, a Negra.

Cheers

Great Job Ramon! It is superb. What kind of finish did you use?

As always, French polish. Have thought about a lacquer body with an FP top....maybe.

I have playing equipment, but no good recording equip', so no sound file right now.

Sadly, when Spain's Antonio Moya jammed on my No. 1, right before a concert, I only had a cell phone...Junk stuff, but cool, nonetheless...
