Benoît Raby Étude
I took classical guitar lessons for two years as a teen but haven't played in this style or owned a classical guitar since. A few months ago I got the hankering to get one and slowly build a classical repertoire (again).
The local selection of nice guitars appeared slim until I remembered a small independent store called Grand Salon de Guitare which has a vast selection of classical guitars including some high-end luthier built instruments. My choice was this 2013 Étude model from Quebec City luthier Benoît Raby. A really nice instrument that should satisfy me for many years. I bought a Visesnut Active case with it. " Etude Model " Made in 2013 650mm scale with 52mm nut width Spruce top Indian rosewood back & sides Cedar neck Ebony fingerboard Hand made rosette Baljak high end tuning machines Water base all laquer finishing Savarez Alliance Corum (Alliance KF Trebles, Corum Basses) Normal Tension 500AR strings Weight of the guitar is 1.63 kg / 3.6 lbs
