I recently built this classical guitar for someone in California (see testimonial under "Testimonials").

The soundboard is in Master Grade European Spruce (Picea Abies), with Indian Rosewood back & sides, Spanish Cedar neck (with V-joint headstock), 1st Grade African Ebony fret board and Indian Rosewood bridge. The rosette is in solid Lacewood.

This person did not want any shiny finish on the guitar, so I finished it with a few coats of shellac, sanded it smooth and then rubbed it with steel wool. This created a nice satin finish, and shows off the natural color and grain of the wood.
