This is a classical with a cedar top and mahogany back and sides. It is a player and not a looker. It was an Arizona guitar and had some humidity cracks. It was also played a lot and shows the wear. It was loved back into shape with crack repairs, a fret dressing and re-humidification. Plus, it now has a great hard case. It has a verry Spanish sound and is quite loud. We have two hand made guitars (Matsuoka and Devenport) and its lowder than either of those. Its a lot of sound for the bucks, plus it has the Contreras history behind it. I've got $450 in it plus shipping, the case and repair time. I'm really upside down and would take $400 plus shipping. Save it from eBay. :<>
