The first classical guitar I ever built was a copy of a Daniel Freidrich guitar. 

I remember it was a very difficult first project, with double sides and a fairly complex bracing and rosette.  
 
The finished guitar worked out very well though, and sold almost immediately. 
 
I have decided to come back and re-visit that guitar model, resulting in the “Cedar Model F” featuring double laminated sides, ultrathin master grade cedar soundboard and bracing based on Friedrich's late 80’s cedar guitars. 

 I build the guitars by hand using fairly traditional methods and select all the materials for each guitar with a view to achieving the best tone for each one, looking for a wide palette of tone colours and an even balance between the bass and treble.
