This Leo Buendia Jumbo in East Indian Rosewood and Sitka spruce is phenomenal! The Sitka top is an incredible, 200-year-old set with insanely tight grain across its length. Leo was a Somogyi apprentice, and the tonal heritage is apparent. The whole sound pallet is full and lush from string to string each note is a pleasure to hear, it must be experienced, not just heard. Ethereal, mesmerizing, magical, all of these words don’t do this guitars justice. Hours spent playing this Buendia will just fly by, it is that engrossing. The craftsmanship is as good as we have seen just about anywhere. This is a guitar more than one person in this shop would love to keep for themselves!

This is one of my favorite guitars in the shop right now, every time I pass it I have to take it off the wall and spend some time with. I get lost in the tone, it's such a pleasure to play and listen to this guitar. 
Rich, smooth, and engrossing--no surprise at all from Leo Buendia. This is one of his first builds after graduating from his apprenticeship with Ervin Somogyi, and even then in 2014 he was already building an incredible guitar. The bass is dark and emotive, and with glassy treble strings the resulting experience is prime time for the fingerstylists. 
If you like Somogyi guitars you'll love this one, it has that same piano like frequency response with deep bass and sparkling highs. You can feel the vibrations when you play it. I aslo has very similar styling and a similar feel to the Somogyi guitars I've played. | Scale Length | 25.25 in |
