Add to Compare2018 Sanders Classical, Ziricote/Cedar
Australian luthier Ashley Sanders crafts an incredible guitar, hands down. This Classical is relatively new from 2018, but has an impressively opened up voice and responsiveness. Ziricote back and sides with a lattice braced Cedar top, Rubner deluxe tuners and Snakewood buttons—and this Australian-style Classical only weighs in at five pounds. The Ziricote back is slightly arched à la Greg Smallman, adding volume and power to the voice. 12-hole tieblock for increased break angle at the saddle, and Sanders added side dots at the 5th and 7th fret for creature comfort.

When it came to building my own guitars I felt the need to produce a non-copy, a guitar with my own plantilla and slight variations in bracing and internal structure. I started off following the traditional bracing method, then tried radial bracing and later settled on the lattice method. Consequently I have found this to be an ongoing process of subtle changes, one at a time, with an emphasis on not making too big a departure from the last guitar. This enables me to easily identify any improvements gained, without the confusion of having done too many alterations at once.
To me the classical guitar is something very special amongst guitars. It is not an easy instrument to get right and requires serious focus on the small things to keep on track. It continues to reward me with a sense of respect and achievement with each new guitar, and for me this really is the essence of ” job satisfaction”
