P. Bernabé - Model 5 - Classical Guitar
Paulino like his father before him has become a reference in guitar making: Paulino Bernabé’s concert guitars meet the highest demand levels required by professional guitarists throughout the world. Their exceptional chromatic richness is supplemented by their great power and pure, crystalline sound, full of nuances. The PB models 5 in both Spruce and Cedar are fine examples of his making. It is impressive that he can pack so many of the concert guitar features in what is for Paulino an entry level student guitar
It is constructed with all-solid woods that the maker has carefully selected for their quality and tonal properties. The Model 5 model comes with back and sides made with Indian rosewood, ebony fingerboard, and a primer quality spruce or cedar top. It has a lacquer finish and is fitted with Gotoh deluxe machine tuners. It delivers liquid clear and rounded and polished singing trebles. These are balanced nicely against profound but well-defined basses. The separation, intonation, and evenness from note to note are excellent. The guitar shows clarity all the way up the fretboard and rings out well every register It is set up well, and is comfortable to play.
