I Bought this guitar on a recent trip to Madrid. It is my favorite instrument at the moment and a build standard I aspire to.

In Late August 2019 I moved into a larger house with a big sun room and a basement which I planned to use as a workshop space. The move took far longer than I hoped and with some minor leaks and problems with the new house, (which is actually 20 years old), I was set back in my plans.
