Montero is considered one of the greatest Cordobese guitar builders, and he shared time with the mythical Míguel Rodríguez. Together with Manuel Reyes, he is the hallmark of the Cordobese guitar; his instruments are always hand varnished by himself and there are many artists wo own his guitars, such as Luis Calderito or Tomatito.
The selection of woods used for this instrument is: top quality german pine spruce that has been under cure for several years for the soundboard, and cypress of extraordinary quality and beauty for the body (sides and back), both chosen carefully…
Thanks to the selection of woods used on this instrument, its sound is exquisite to the ears of both lovers and professionals of flamenco, offering exceptional depth and brilliance on the bass strings, together with powerful and crystalline trebles, rendering its typical and unmistakable sound.
This guitar offers perfect comfort on both of the guitarist’s hands.
The pulsation of this guitar is of medium tension with the strings at perfect height for performance.
