It is a nicely made production Spanish style classical with some attractive decorative touches, including an elaborate rosette and marquetry on the bridge and headstock. It carries a detailed descriptive label listing wood sources but there was no master builder named \"Hernandis\", it was simply the importer's invention. This is a solid instrument and makes for a good knock-around classical with a surprisingly rich sound, an excellent practice or recording studio instrument.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eOverall length is 39 5\/8 in. (100.6 cm.), 14 7\/8 in. (37.8 cm.) wide at lower bout, and 4 1\/8 in. (10.5 cm.) in depth at side, taken at the end block. Scale length is 26 1\/4 in. (667 mm.). Width of nut is 2 in. (51 mm.). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis 50+ year old guitar shows some general handling marks with scuffs, dings and light scratches to the finish but no major wear or repair. It is a very nice, easy playing classical with a friendly, midrangey sound but a surprising bass response as well. It lives in a nice later HSC. Overall Excellent - Condition.","brand":"Hernandis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46853652742284,"sku":"12921","price":2400.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0672\/8702\/3756\/files\/01_ae09a367-eb02-4e75-9a82-3328505e266b.jpg?v=1774342524","url":"https:\/\/retrofret.com\/products\/hernandis-grade-2-classical-guitar-1973-12921","provider":"RetroFret","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
