Hello,

I purchased a Esteve Gr08 in November 2007.
Hand-made in Spain
It has 19 frets
Solid cedar for the table and ebony for the handle (key).
Good grip for the handle.
I want to say I was looking for a classical guitar spruce.
Because I 'had a bad experience with cedar 10 years ago.
The guitar sounded good at first, and then I do not know why,
after 3 years if I remember the sound has changed it was aging male.

UTILIZATION

The handle is not too thick and not too high ropes
Access to acute is difficult, as all classical guitars.

The Gr08 Esteve is light and balanced.
This gives a good sound asser easily, in any case it is terribly surprising.
The cedar provides a warm and bass for the midrange and treble clarity.
The only downside and this is just personal opinion, the media lacks a bit of balance,
I do not know too explain, but it is a detail view of this quality guitar.

SOUNDS

Personally, I play classical, some jazz (j test) and ballads.
I think she is versatile.
With a little reverb is perfect.
it has a sacred sound.
The body vibrates and you feel the instrument, but the wood is life.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 1 year, try one, you will be amazed.
At that price must be a compromise depending on the choice electroacoustic / Acoustic
acoustics for the price is frankly a very good guitar.
What I like most is the sounds and the handle really well.
What I like less, lack of dens on the handle, it's embarrassing but with a marker you can easily solve the problem without damaging the instrument.
Before the purchase I have tried many other models.
In fact I have tried and m has Plue, but I did not rush.
I have tried other for a month and a half and most cherished classics.
I must say that I was afraid it was sold.
But I was cautious and the retry, it killed me yet, you can guess the rest.

Report really good, I recommend it, one must love classical guitars.
A sure, solid wood manufacturing and Spanish.
Without hesitation.
Esteve GR08 is the attention that I am describing, not (the 1GR08 Esteve)
