Pierre’s Observations:
Just arrived from the makers workbench. I ordered this one because I’ve liked them every time I play one. The PB50 is a handmade classical guitar for concert performances built by a maker at the peak of his powers, it delivers a romantic, haunting and enveloping Spanish sound. The trebles are clear and polished, the basses profound and firm. The guitar has excellent separation and balance. And, it’s comfortable set up makes it a pleasure to play.
I rate as one of the great trinity of concert guitars together with the Manuel Adalid Cathedral and the Vilaplana NT before you have to invest over $35,000 in your guitar.
Daniel Nistico’s review shows even he was impressed it said “It is very beautiful guitar, with even, consistent tone, it is a very nice blend modern sensibilities guitar but very even, very silky with a very Spanish tone, it’s gorgeous (playing), silky all over the instrument, very playable as well. Very even, gorgeous”. Plays arrangement of Tears in heaven by Hirokatsu Sato to showcase the guitar.
