TORRES 1A (17), Swiss moon spruce & flamed maple, 7 bar fan bracing
This is the 1A version of the popular FE17 Torres model. This has exactly the right choice of wood and of the highest quality. One of the smaller sized Torres models, based on his First Era FE 17 model. In the year 1864 Antonio de Torres built the SE 17 for his personal use. When Tarrega played this guitar in 1869, he managed to buy this from the master Torres. The sound inspired Tarrega for the coming 20 years. The original instrument has a cedro neck with a 650 mm scale length and maple back and sides. We use nicely flamed maple for sides and back. As all Jellinghaus guitars, this too has a French polished finish, bringing out the best of this instrument, both in tone as in looks.
