DESCRIPTION

This 1992 Benito Huipe is stunning to look at and equally rewarding to play. With a distinctive headstock, the guitar also stands out for its construction. She is built as a classical with a typical deep body.  In the end, she was put together to produce a bit of a hybrid guitar. Her setup is like a flamenca. The action is balanced right in between where notes are clear and loud, but do not break up. The scale length is set at 664mm which adds a very rewarding character of tension for the player. The guitar is dynamically responsive but does not require intensive labor to produce it. With the nut at 55mm, players have a great amount freedom between strings. Tonally the guitar is warm, bright, and provides considerable sustain.

​

The back and sides are Brazilian rosewood which is extremely coveted by players firstly for their tonal qualities. With the back of this guitar, you also get a unique pattern in the grain that you will not easily forget.
