Cedar/Indian negra finished

This is an unusual wood combination for me but I think it sounds nice. Would sound great with more modern stuff too of course.

beautiful looking. Sound is great, just exactly like traditional spruce and cypress!!!

And that slightly wavy Indian rosewood is exactly why I always thought Paco's main guitar was Indian rosewood rather than the claimed Pau ferro.

Thanks guys. Ricardo you're hilarious man, but I honestly can't entirely disagree with you. This guitar does sound puzzlingly blanca-esque

A really nice looking guitar, Andy. Superb craftsmanship. I like your interpretation of a Santos Hernandez rosette design.

Thanks guys. The rosette is inspired by (basically copied from) Javier Molina's Santos. That's why I played a falseta associated with Javier Molina...if you caught that you get a gold star in flamenco guitar nerdery.
