This guitar has found a new home, Philip builds a convincing Torres model that is very popular with the many fans of Torres style guitars. If you are looking for an excellent Torres style guitar please contact me for more information... Who among us does not have a warm spot in our hearts for Torres style guitars. This rendition by English luthier Philip Woodfield utilizes the basic simplicity and perfection of the Torres design, but adds subtle but artistic embellishments that produce a truly classic result. From the flowering vine motif of the rosette which echoes a similar pattern on the label, to the delicate 'double helix' inlay work adorning the back, the care taken by the builder is obvious. Philip's guitars are very expressive, to quote the builder: "I build to accomplish a varied tonal palate that encourages expressive playing". This instrument has a beautifully refined tonal character: sweet, expressive and intimate. You feel invited, even encouraged as Philip says, to flow fully at your most intuitive level. A true delight for any fan of Torres style instruments. Woodfield guitars are played by a number of prominent European artists, visit the Philip Woodfield home page to learn more. |
