Comments:
Just Arrived! The guitar is gorgeous, clear and powerful with expression. Setup to play, I found her easy and effortless. She features an almost flat D Profile on the neck, not thin exactly, but a touch thinner than normal.
The case she came in, a Hiscox knockoff, for lack of a better description, was too large for the guitar, so I swapped it with a Humicase Protege, which fit her 99%.

MP3 Audio – 210105-2016 Rafael Fuentes Modelo Siglo XXI Spruce Pau Ferro – what a great and fun guitar to play, with moderate action, the ability to push her, clear voices and very musical. Reminds me of a Spruce Bouchet type of sound. Very nice
