[QUOTE=Itzkinguitars;6896494]Really curious about this! One of favorite Torres guitars is of the same wood combination although of his second epoch. Have been thinking of making a guitar on the 1856 La Leona plantilla of spruce and cuban mahogany as well!
Brian, thanks for the link, nice to see an original, it's rare to see classicals in cuban, but I just loved this particular set so much. I nearly asked Nick for a second epoch shape, but I played a FE side by side with a SE which he happened to have in the workshop at the same time, and I preferred the smaller bodied one, such a sweet, lyrical sound. The top on this new build had a magical tap tone, so I'm hopeful of much joy once the finish is on...
