New Guitars

After selling a few instruments, I have two new guitars on the way - lucky man - after consultation with Manuel Rodrigues y Hijos in Madrid. The first should be available this week. It is a 60mm string length FC model, with ebony fingerboard and French-polished top. Very much looking forward to putting some Aquila Gut and Silk strings on it for that Tarrega/Pujol sound world.

The second is a ten-string, no less - a Rodriguez FG model - which Santa will deliver at Christmas time, I hope. I've been in love with the 10s since hearing Narciso Yepes many years ago, and I'm surprised it has taken so long for me to aquire one.

Videos and sound files to follow...
