Stephen Marchione says, "I got my first Spanish Guitar when I was 6 years old and fell in love with this beautiful instrument. Combining 30 years of guitar building and 50 years of guitar playing I wanted to build a guitar that surpasses what we believe Spanish guitars can do. My Spanish Guitar is exactly that in terms of tonality, playability, and design. It does things no other Spanish guitar can do."
Combining a Swiss spruce top with Brazilian rosewood back and sides, Stephen achieves a strikingly direct, articulate tone with a strong fundamental and clean sustain on this Modern Spanish model. The string tension, somewhere between moderate and stiff, and immediate response make this an ideal guitar for a more percussive player, whether you're someone who plays flamenco or explores progressive repertoire. The side soundport enhances the player experience, while the wide, round neck carve gets slimmer towards the body to make reaching the higher frets comfortable.
This beautifully appointed guitar is in excellent condition, and comes with an installed passive pickup and its original Calton hard case.
