This is a great example of one of the finest guitar families in Classical Guitar History. The 10th Anniversary Premium features Manuel's finest woods and his amazing Sounding Back Support design. The key feature is a Cedar sound board that is positioned above the back braces allowing it to be unimpeded by the players body and to freely move with the energy of the guitar. This makes for enhanced projection and tone. You can really sense the added volume and resonance. I really like that you can hold the guitar close and still get all the tone. The woods here are simply the best, just look at the Brazilian Rosewood back, they do not come any finer and it is dramatic as well as quarter sawn for tone. The top is a very dark and old piece of Cedar, clearly saved for a special guitar like this. Manuel Contreras II unfortunatley passed away this year, but this instrument shall carry his legacy. - http://www.dreamguitars.com/products/contrerasII/contrerasII_10th_anniversary_premium_153/contrerasII_10th_anniversary_premium_153.php
