{"product_id":"altamira-1921-santos-hernandez-historical-replica-in-gig-bag","title":"Altamira Santos Hernandez 1921 Historical Replica Classical Guitar","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Altamira Santos Hernandez 1921 Historical Replica is a faithful tribute to one of the most celebrated Spanish luthiers of the early twentieth century, built to mirror the dimensions and character of the original 1921 instrument. A spruce soundboard is paired with Indian rosewood back and sides, braced with traditional Spanish fan bracing in the Torres style to deliver the fast response, warm resonance, and tonal balance that defined the golden era of Spanish classical guitar making. The neck is constructed using traditional Spanish heel joinery with a cedar neck, keeping the build as true to period practice as possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe French polish finish is applied by hand, preserving the natural acoustic properties of the tonewoods and giving the guitar the kind of intimate, immediate response that lacquer-finished instruments rarely match. Classic rope-style purfling and authentic 1921 styling complete the aesthetic, making this an instrument that is as visually compelling as it is musically rewarding. An ideal choice for concert-level classical players and serious collectors who want the feel and voice of a historic instrument without the fragility and expense of an original.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpruce soundboard with traditional Spanish fan bracing in the Torres style delivers warm, resonant tone with fast, dynamic response\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndian rosewood back and sides provide rich harmonic complexity and balanced projection across the full frequency range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand-applied French polish finish preserves natural tonewood resonance and delivers the intimate response characteristic of golden-era Spanish guitars\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCedar neck with traditional Spanish heel construction mirrors the original 1921 build method for authentic playability and feel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClassic rope-style purfling and authentic 1921 decorative styling faithful to the original Santos Hernandez aesthetic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTop: Spruce\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBack and sides: Indian rosewood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck: Cedar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard: Ebony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBracing: Traditional Spanish fan bracing, Torres-inspired\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: French polish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale length: 650mm (approx.)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut width: 50mm (approx.)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesign: Classic rope-style purfling, authentic 1921 styling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes: Case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Altamira","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47799112761565,"sku":"ALTAMIRA_1921_SANTOS_HERNANDEZ","price":4999.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0367\/8045\/files\/0H3A2373_0b9d5b4e-89bc-4d1a-81a1-1a8f68af4c4b.jpg?v=1777609524","url":"https:\/\/www.acousticcentre.com.au\/products\/altamira-1921-santos-hernandez-historical-replica-in-gig-bag","provider":"Acoustic Centre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
