*From The Granary Collection. This guitar features on track sixteen of Granary Guitars' 'The Sound of Spain' album, played by David Merrin. Listen to The Sound of Spain track here: 

This guitar is of the era when Contreras was building in the Spanish style with standard construction. This guitar has an exceptional treble with good response.

Condition notes: generally in good condition with a repaired crack in the table that was carried out by Contreras himself. Otherwise, the guitar has minor surface marks and dings as to be expected for a used guitar of this age.
