Cuban Tres, Cedar face, mahogany back and sides, for the authentic Cuban sound. This is the newer design with a somewhat larger body and wider neck than the older models. The tres is not an altered guitar as are so many being played today - it's a special shape from a 1950's Havana design with small straight upper bouts and a plank-sawn top with special bracing producing a rich but loud tone. It is set up for tuning Gg-cc-Ee or Gg-bb-Ee, and has a tailpiece and classic style bridge true to the original.
