Solid Spruce Top and 1931 Esteso Five Fan Bracing Pattern Resonates with Distinction

The Esteso boasts a solid European spruce top meticulously chosen for its optimal stiffness and minimal mass, facilitating unrestricted vibrations for powerful, clear sound projection. Its 1931 Esteso Five Fan bracing pattern stands as a historic hallmark in classical guitar construction. This pattern, featuring delicately arranged fan-shaped braces beneath the soundboard, delivers a harmoniously balanced resonance, heightened projection, and distinctive tonal clarity adored by both discerning musicians and luthiers. As you play, you'll experience the top's resonance flowing through the neck and body, resulting in a rich, articulate tone characterized by shimmering highs and a robust low end. With the spruce top synergizing seamlessly with the 1931 Esteso Five Fan Bracing pattern optimized for nylon strings, the Esteso resonates with an open, balanced voice suited for any musical style.

Pau Ferro Back and Sides Provide Depth and Warmth

The Esteso boasts pau ferro back and sides, synergizing with the spruce top to enrich resonance, imbuing your music with warmth, depth, and sustained notes. Pau ferro, akin to rosewood, bestows a lush tone with distinct note clarity. Its buoyant nature harmonizes flawlessly with the spruce top, resulting in a premium blend of tonal qualities. This harmonious fusion produces a balanced, warm, and projecting sound, breathing life into every piece you perform.
