The custom-designed rosette and intricate Ebony bindingswith WBW and green inserts highlight the guitar's artisanal flair, while the French Polish high gloss finish not only protects the wood but also enhances its natural resonance. 

The Rodgers tuners with recon Malachite buttons ensure precise tuning stability, a testament to their reputation as the pinnacle of classical guitar tuning mechanisms.

The Ebony bridge and bone nut and saddle contribute to precise intonation, while the medium tension Cantiga Savarez strings provide a balanced feel and responsiveness under the fingers. Total weight is 3.7lbs.
