Comments:
Robert always builds a superb guitar, where this one may be a stand out among his many fine instruments.

She plays to a 640mm scale length, meaning easier, facilitating stretches, etc for those with smaller hands.  Robert is calling this body and model his “Urbano” Model, based on the Spanish Torres plantilla, but clearly with his own design of bracing and sound bar construct.  He tells me that he started building these guitars about 10 years ago, wanting to make a Torres-like guitar, using some elements of the Torres formula, but veering off, using many of his own designs.  It pays homage to the Antonio Torres, who was born in La Canada de San Urbano (thus the name of the model) in Almeria.

The woods are beautiful, as Rob never skimps on quality, or his time.  His attempt to bring a quality concert level guitar, with exquisite woods, to the market at a more than competitive price are more than realized in this beauty.

Rob described his own build, bracing patterns and use of sound bars in this guitar, with this model being called his Urbano Model.

I can tell you that the guitar plays beautifully, sounds great, with clear voices and good balance.  No boominess in the basses, but a clear lilting voice across all the registers.  I just opened her up, examination complete, and sat with her to play immediately.  She’s quite literally brand new and she sounds like this?  Huh, not fair.  LOL

Beautiful guitar.

MP3 Audio – 200602-2020 Robert Vincent Urbano 187 Spruce Ebony 640mm – I played her this afternoon, simply to make certain of her overall play and quality.  I’m left with “brand new guitars are not supposed to sound like this?”  The guitar is fabulous.
