Traditional Model
The Traditional Model follows the symmetrical fan-braced pattern popularised by Torres and Hauser. Both Segovia and Julian Bream used this type of instrument for many years. The tone is balanced, with clear trebles and an even bass, an archetypal classical guitar sound. It has an elegant, slightly smaller and shallower body shape. The beauty of this design lies in its simplicity and it is the standard blueprint from which most modern instruments are derived.
