The woods of this guitar are German spruce for the top, with a straight and even grain, and cypress for back and sides. This wood was selected because of its beauty and sound qualities, being the latter the main quality for Francisco Barba when it comes to the choice of guitars.
The sound coming out of this guitar is wonderful, with deep and strumming basses, and with bright and very clear trebles, all of which makes a really balanced guitar. The sound quality is unique, with an even tone and volume in every single note along the fingerboard.
The tension of this flamenco guitar is middle, and the height of the strings in the saddle is very balanced, which makes it really comfortable for both hands, allowing an easy performance.
Its condition is excellent. The shellac has been gone through again by Francisco Barba himself. A separation of milimetres can be noticed in the top, in particular in the central joint. Regarding this minor setback, Francisco Barba insisted that it wasn´t serious at all, as there is a sort of budstick reinforcing the joint.
