Nylon string models
The first classical guitar I made was built referencing a plan of the 1937 Hermann Hauser guitar. I still find inspiration in and take construction and design cues from this guitar, as well as from those of the great Spanish guitar makers. My classical guitars are mostly traditional and focus on construction quality and wood selection. One deviation is that I favor dovetail construction. Neck and body are finished by French polish.
