I aim to build guitars that sing. They have bright trebles that are consistent up to the 19th fret. The basses are evenly balanced with the trebles, not overpowering or booming. What sets them apart is their power and sustain. Any stopped note should ring for 5 or 6 seconds with residual sound still there for up to 12 seconds. For open strings it will be longer.
Although traditional Spanish techniques are used in building there is an important departure from the Torres tradition.
The top is braced with five laminated spruce struts, four of which are curved. This is different than in most guitars. It is based on the fact that vibration enters the top through the bridge and radiates outwards. The shape and placement of the curved struts facilitates this action.
