Leo Buendia approaches the classical guitar form with an eye for modern aesthetics, ergonomic design, and a sensitive voicing. This 2019 Nylon model boasts dark, dark Brazilian Rosewood back and sides plus tight-grained Red Cedar on top, and has further been appointed with one of his painstaking carved rosettes (plus endgraft), and green-dyed tieblock tying in with the headstock inlays. Leo has put a fearsome amount of time and effort into making every single chip and carve count; the result is intricate, and impressively clean. Rather than opt for a traditional fingerboard, Leo has adopted a subtle radius for his Nylon model, making the playing experience effortless indeed. Build weight comes in a little over four pounds, making this Buendia quite comfortable in hand. Of course, Rodgers tuners in the Hauser style and a carved Brazilian Rosewood bridge are the final additions to this study in elegance, and a french polish finish throughout.
