2018 Ethan Deutsch SP/ZR

Like his background as a player, Ethan's guitars are very traditional. They are notably lightweight like the mid-century guitars coming from Andalucia and likewise have a strong, quick snap to the attack of each note. The body of each note is loose and old-world, with warm basses and lyrical trebles giving it a great, traditional Spanish sound. It is also extremely easy to play for the left hand with a sleek and easy contour to the neck. Additionally, it is ultra-responsive to the touch so very easy on the right hand. Overall a beautiful instrument (note the "weaved" pattern in the rosette) and gorgeous materials - notably the figured ziricote for back and sides framed with flamed maple for the binding and purfling. For the serious classical player looking for a fantastic traditional classical concert guitar, we can recommend this instrument highly.
