1864 Spanish guitar made by Antonio de Torres Jurado

Enjoy! 
"This 1864 Spanish guitar was made by Antonio de Torres Jurado, one of the most significant and influential luthiers in the history of the concert guitar. Torres enlarged the size of the guitar, using fan bracing beneath a thinner soundboard, resulting in a powerful sound and setting the standard still used by luthiers today.
