The soundboard of this guitar is made of matched halves of straight-grained spruce. Grain spacing varies from a tight 40 per inch at the center to 18 per inch at the edges. The main design band of the rosette features alternating red and dark green leaf shapes on an olive green background. The bridge is rosewood with its tie-block topped with a mother-of-pearl border enclosing a design strip complementary to the rosette. Bass and treble golpeadors are white plastic.
Back and sides are made of cypress. A red, green, and black fillet strip separates the two back pieces at the center seam. Neck and head are cedar with the face of the head covered with rosewood. Rosewood tuning pegs have mother-of-pearl dots set into their small ends. The fingerboard is ebony with medium frets. This guitar is in very good condition with its original French polish of shellac.
