This is a new guitar. It is beautiful, sweet, responsive...amazing. Original arched top case included.

This guitar has a beautiful European spruce top with a wonderful sound.

Fingerstyle is a dream to play. The narrower neck makes it really accessible for the steel string player who finds the additional real estate of a standard classical neck to be daunting. And, for those of us with smaller hands or creeping arthritis, the reach on this guitar is really friendly. Neck width is 1 7/8 inches at the nut - not too fat and not too thin. Fingerboard is Flat.

The Fingerstyle model has an easy to maintain gloss finished.

Covered by full Hill Guitar shop warranty for 1 year against all workmanship and materials - which does not include damage due to negligence, by the way. This is a nylon string guitar made by a classical maker, rather than a nylon string guitar made by a steel string maker. This guitar is not over built, doesn't have x bracing and isn't over engineered for steel strings. It SOUNDS great!

It was made in China under Kenny Hill's supervision in 2009.

I wanted to tell you that I am just loving the Almeria guitar I got from you. The tone and beauty of the guitar has quickly made it my favorite to play. I'm unable to walk by it without stopping to pick it up and play

The instrument [Torres] sounds wonderful, and it'll only get better. It's very sweet, yet very responsive. It is easily as loud as my full-size, but with a much more complex tonal character. I'm impressed!
