Historical Model

The **Historical model** refers to a series of instruments with decorations inspired by traditional elements such as crosses, spines, lozenges, and replicas of historical mosaics. Any aesthetic or functional modification can be introduced. Each model can be customized upon agreement based on the client's preferences and requirements.  
The guitar is based on a traditional design and is, as much as possible, a replica of the reference instrument; the thickness of the woods and bracing vary according to the project.  
By 'replica,' we mean a reproduction of the structural concept and the tonal response; it does not necessarily have to be an exact aesthetic copy of the reference guitar.  
The shapes used are inspired by classical tradition, including H. Hauser, A. Torres, and E. Garcia.  
All parts are made of solid wood.  
The tone of the instrument varies depending on the chosen model.
