Description

Here we have a DT (David Taylor) De La Rosa model in Hormigo back and sides with a Lutz Spruce top. This is a visually striking instrument with its dark red hues and yellow tones. Hormigo is a wood that isn't seen much in the guitar world it really doesn't look like any other wood being used, tonally it falls in the range of Rosewood, it has a strong fundamental with an overtone pallet quite similar to that of the Rosewoods. Fingerpicking is the real focus of this guitar, melodies pop out with the bright trebles, tempered by the controlled basses and mids.

I like this guitar, Hormigo is a wood we don't see too often, it has a great look and tone to it. This DT is as easy to play as a guitar can get, it feels like your favorite old pair of broken-in jeans.

The tone on this instrument is dark and has lots of character. It's easy to play and responds well to fingerstyle playing. I see it as more of a solo instrument rather than an ensemble guitar.
