  • Those who think the authentication of instruments such as this are based on the label are mistaken. I published an article on this instrument in the May 2008 issue of Vintage Guitar Magazine. Hint: read the acknowledgments. As for values, I base my opinions on over 40 years experience buying, selling restoring and authenticating instruments such as this. Those who think my values are too high are welcome to take their Torres' to any of the anonymous YouTube "experts."

  • Unfortunately, it is my policy not to comment nor place values on instruments I haven't personally examined. I suggest you contact an expert to have the instrument evaluated in person, this can't be done through photos alone. Labels in instruments are often the least reliable piece of information in an instrument.

  • @rebruneluthier I have a old german guitar labeled inside Theodore wettingell.is that any good value.?

  • Oh this is wild. I had a chance to see this guitar on one of my visits out to the Chicago area. Its a loud little beast. I had brought the first classical guitar I ever built with me , so it was double treat to hear Richard play that one too. It sounded better than i ever could make it sound lol. Oh yeah, If he says its a Torres you can bet your ass it's a Torres. I learned a ton on that trip. Thanks Richard !!!

  • Aside from speaker issue, the guitar sounds very good. It's explosive.

  • @percey Look at La Leona if you actually want to know what your attacking be about.

    So maybe you shouldn't post anymore.

  • Too bad the sound tears the speaker. Very interesting video.

  • @fatbeats101 if u dont know what you're talking about maybe you shouldn't post

  • amazing sound out that guitar, totally unexpected.
