Left Handed Double Top Concert Classical Guitar with Armrest

All asymmetric features are "mirrored", including armrest, 20th fret "C", tie block, nut & saddle, etc. This "lefty" classical guitar was created for Jonatan Jakabovics at the time when he was an outstanding student of Mozarteum in Salzburg. I didn't find photos about the completed guitar, unfortunately, so let me share here with you the workshop photos and test stringing before completing French polish:

The Flamenco Guitar Project

I designed two flamenca blanca guitars with different bracings: one inspired by Santos Hernandez, and the other one by Felipe Conde, just somewhat modified. To easily identify which is which, two different headstocks were created. The first one is my original "Amanecer" head shape, the other one is inspired by Paco de Lucia's Conde guitars.
- Tops: amazing silky German spruce
- Backs & sides: original Spanish cypress
- Fretboards: African ebony
- Scale: 650 mm (optional)
- Olive Tree motif soundport (optional)
