Description

The Model 15 had now superseded the model 10, with a thinner more ergonomic neck and easier playability the major change it comes with back and sides made with Indian rosewood, ebony fingerboard, and a primer quality Canadian cedar top. It has a lacquer finish and is fitted with Gotoh deluxe machine tuners. The 15 is a step up from the Model 5 in that it offers more detail in the individual notes and has greater resolution due to the higher grade top. It also seems if anything easier to play, something that seems to be true of all of Paulino’s guitars as you go up the range. Tonally it offers Paulino’s signature clear and rounded and polished singing trebles. These are balanced well against profound but well-defined basses. It delivers projection and musicality. The separation, intonation, and evenness from note to note are excellent. The guitar is set up superbly, and is comfortable to play.

Pierre’s Thoughts

This is one of his student models not quite in the category of the Concert Royal of the high end PB50 but an excellent concert level guitar at student affordable prices. You’ll notice detail in the individual notes and tonally it offers Paulino’s signature clear and rounded and polished singing trebles. These are balanced well against profound but well-defined basses. It delivers projection and musicality.
