For Sale: https://www.vintage-guitar-world.com/... Some guitars are collectible. Others are virtually impossible to replace. This extraordinary Francisco Simplicio Torres Model, built in 1931, belongs to one of the rarest groups of Spanish classical guitars ever made. It is one of only seven "A" models built in the Torres style and is believed to be the first known guitar signed by Miguel Simplicio, who worked alongside his father Francisco in the Barcelona workshop.

His guitars continued the tradition established by Antonio de Torres, while adding Simplicio's own elegant craftsmanship and unmistakable tonal character. This guitar features an exceptional spruce top, beautifully figured rosewood back and sides, a classic Torres-style headstock and rosette, and a voice that is astonishingly deep, lyrical, and responsive. Every note seems to leap effortlessly from the instrument, revealing the warmth, balance, and personality that have made Simplicio guitars among the most sought-after Spanish masterpieces. For collectors, musicians, and lovers of historic instruments, opportunities to encounter a guitar like this are exceptionally rare. It is more than an instrument.
