Hi all! I had posted a build thread about my time quarantined in Granada Spain and subsequent construction of this guitar. Thought I'd share some final photos for anyone interested!

The photos below I took with my phone but the guitar is for sale at Siccas in Germany and they have much nicer photos and a video:

That's a beauty for sure. I love that rosette.

What type of spruce is it?
What are those tuners?

Thanks! Top is old Swiss spruce I purchased from my mentor in Granada. The tuners are Peronas; a really nice midrange tuner with roller bearings and an 18:1 ratio. They're pretty cheap (well cheap for classical tuners) too. https://maderasbarber.com/tonewood/en/c ... royal.html

That would be an interesting thread in itself!

Beautiful guitar--I agree with the others who have complimented the rosette, woods and craftsmanship. A silver lining to the whole lockdown thing to be sure!
