Loriente designs follow the strict specifications of the
classic Spanish guitar. Scale lengths are 650mm long and
nut widths are 52mm. The bracing is a Torres style fan
pattern that allows the top, back and sides to be made
thin and lightweight. Combined with AAA grade woods
and a traditional French Polish finish, the result is punchy
volume, balanced tone and deep resonance.

All models have African ebony fingerboards, Spanish

Nylon-string guitars for steel-string musicians. The first
guitars to merge the acoustic bracing and tone of a tra-
ditional nylon with the thinner neck and fast action of a
steel-string. Radiused fretboards and 12 or 14 fret neck-
to-body construction make these the most comfortable
crossover guitars for steel-string and electric players.
