Classical Guitars

Below is a record of my classical guitar production.  I don't make "models" - the names below are individual to the instruments (currently I'm working through the movements of Albéniz's Suite Española).  My goal is not consistency but ongoing improvement.  For each, I provide my nutshell assessment of the primary attribute of a musical instrument - its sound quality.  For some, I have included audio samples..
