A powerful sound, but at the same time delicate, that gives this concert guitar high-level attributes for interpretation.

The 11 P model is the highest-end before moving to the series called "signature models", Luthier's finest guitars.

The finishes of this model denote an important craftsmanship and a very refined image. It is worth noting the additional green line in the profiles, as well as the type of construction.

In this regard, the piece called heel, of the traditional construction system called "Spanish heel", in the 11 P model is composed of 5 pieces, while in the rest of the models it is only composed of a single piece.

It can also be seen that the fingerboard of the 11 P model is longer. The fingerboard extends through the mouth of the soundboard to introduce an additional fret. An element that is requested by qualified guitarists and that is necessary to play some musical pieces.

In addition, this instrument is built with bone in the saddle and nut, a material that has been traditionally used and whose vibration capabilities are exceptional. Characteristics that together with a careful selection of woods and an artisanal elaboration, produce a strong sound, with body and concert level.

The sound of the 11 P model is a powerful sound, but at the same time it can produce the most delicate and melodious notes with a sweet and refined sound.

In short, a guitar that responds amply to the demands of the guitarist and that when you have it in your hands feels robust, transmits energy and enjoys making it sound.

Some characteristics that provide this concert guitar with high-level attributes for interpretation.

Recommended Strings: This guitar comes with D'Addario EXP44 Extra Hard Tension strings installed.  These are not bad strings, but don't allow the guitar to live up to its full potential.  I recommend the following strings for this guitar:

IMPORTANT: This guitar features a 12-hole bridge.  This design puts the strings at a higher angle relative to the saddle, allowing a greater transfer of energy into the top of the guitar at the saddle.  This gives this guitar extra volume and resonance.  It is very important that the strings are tied properly to prevent slipping.  For instructions on how to tie the strings, please see the video below:

Superior Tonewoods

The 11P features a solid cedar top that produces warm, rich tones with excellent projection. The Indian rosewood back and sides complement the cedar top by adding depth and complexity to the sound. The mahogany neck with ebony fingerboard ensures comfortable playability and precise intonation.

Musicians appreciate the 11P for its balanced tone profile, featuring clear trebles and robust bass response. The guitar offers impressive sustain and volume, making it suitable for both intimate settings and larger performance venues. Its responsive nature allows for expressive playing across various classical styles.
