Thanks to the perfect selection of woods Francisco used on this instrument, its sound is absolutely extraordinary, offering exquisite depth and ressonance on the bass strings, together with crystalline and powerful trebles, as well as enviable balance and mellowness between bass and treble.
The pulsation of this guitar is of medium tension with the strings at perfect height for performance.
The guitar is in an excellent condition, it doesn’t have any crack nor has ben repaired; it only has been revarnished by Francisco Barba himself.
