Simon Ambridge copy of Torres's SE70 'La Invencible', 1884
He sure does nice work:

Here are a few videos of this guitar being played. Apparently this model is a flamenco guitar.

Very nice! Love the looks of high quality instruments that feature classic, traditional shapes and designs.

Tony has a very impressive background. Thanks for the intro. I can see how you would have great interest in one of his instruments. And I didn’t know that you were a lutenist. Cool! 😎

Andre, I'm not a lutenist. I've only played one a few times, years ago.
My teacher was a good lute-player and used to say that I was playing "more like" one, and that's the plucked instrument that really speaks to me now (lightly-made CGs like this Ambridge, too). |

Sounds to me like a lute is in your future Carey. Hold on to those plans!

I'm going to, and have mentioned them to that maker. A six-course, for fumbling through Milano in my looming dotage..
