Loriente surprise....
totally unexpected purchase, but thankful I did it. I've been VERY good for the last year and a half or so, but this popped up at a price I couldn't resist.
It's not a museum piece, but structurally great and it's a little warmer and louder than my Solista. It has a slightly fuller neck profile, and a little wider string spacing at the nut (same nut width) which will take some getting used to - but it sounds wonderful and I've dialed in the setup. By the way - those aren't marks in the top, but little bear claws! I've had a couple Clarita spruce and one cedar in the past, I don't remember them sounding this good. It is one of the newer, blue label versions (others were older) so maybe that has something to do with it? Anyway - it turned out well and I'm happy I dropped my guard and bought it!

I'd only bought one guitar since November of '19 (Webber dread that I've now sold). I figured the symmetry of two steel and two classicals was a better bet  I'm going to see which one responds the best to being tuned down a half step.

It's the Clarita - and spruce top.
This has worked out extremely well The whole idea behind having two classicals was to have one to tune down a half step - I dropped the Solista down this morning and it sounds heavenly - and very close to the tonal characteristics of the Clarita in standard. Here's a recording I did yesterday with the Clarita in standard, and the one in my signature is the Solista in standard. I'll do something soon with it dropped down a half.
