On the Bench: A Santos Hernandez Style Concert Guitar, Black Hills Spruce/African Rosewood

I saw a lot of walking guitars then and I thought how fitting it was that guitars should resemble in so many ways the beautiful women on Andalucia.

"Zoraida" is on the bench for the final sanding before I start applying the shellac for French polishing. She is very beautiful, one of four guitars that I will be French polishing over the next 2 months.
