Description: The Estudio model by German Vazquez Rubio represents one of the best values in handmade instruments. This beautiful guitar is an absolute gem that will make its new owner very happy indeed! It has all solid-wood construction with a premium cedar top and Indian Rosewood sides and back. Most of the Estudio models feature Palo Escrito on the sides and back, though this one has been upgraded to Indian Rosewood. The tone character is velvety and round, but still offers good clarity and plenty of volume as well. It can be used as a concert guitar, as a step-up instrument for an aspiring student, or for a teacher who wants a great studio guitar at production line pricing. This well-cared for guitar is in excellent condition with no cracks or repairs and very little playing wear. It features a lacquer finish which is very durable, helps to protect the wood, and won’t wear off like French-polished shellac finishes do. This GV Rubio would be ideal for the performing musician who wants a quality handmade guitar rather than one of the many less interesting production line options in this price range. At far less than the price of a new one, this German Vazquez Rubio Estudio model is a fantastic deal.
