Classical guitar (imgur.com)

This guitar was built by my brother-in-law back in 1999. Third guitar he ever built.

The back and sides are hand scraped rosewood from a stump in his yard while he was living in São Paulo, where he learned to build guitars.

It was originally given to his father, but was passed along to me as one of the only guitar players in the family.

Its beautiful but that preamp is such a bummer for me! Taking a hunk out of such a nice instrument. I much prefer external preamps but its otherwise a perfect instrument.

I agree, but I love it for the history and the craftsmanship. I’m not much of a classical player as is, so I make do.

Sides and back are Brazilian rosewood, the top is western red cedar.
