German Vazquez Rubio - Custom Estudio model
I've really missed not having a classical guitar, so I went ahead and placed my order for a custom Estudio model from Master Luthier, German Vazquez Rubio. It's a custom model because of the individual specs I requested (640MM scale length & 50MM nut width), and also because I got to choose the Palo Escrito back & side set from a few sets personally selected by G.V. Rubio for this guitar. German will hand select the European Spruce top himself, so to provide the best tonal match for the selected back & sides.
Here is the back & side set I chose. I loved the figuring, and especially the sapwood element at the center seam. The wait begins...exciting stuff!

Here is the European Spruce top that German Vazquez Rubio personally selected for my guitar (based on the tonal & structural properties of the back & side set I selected). He had not started working on this at the time the pic was taken, so there is some shop dust, smudges, and pencil marks on it; however, looking past all that, you can see what a lovely, even-grained, and beautiful creamy-colored top it is. This should look fantastic, but more importantly, German assures me that this top will be the perfect tonal match for my back & sides. Couldn't be happier...can't wait!
