This guitar has Indian Rosewood sides and back, a Western Red Cedar top and a Spanish cedar neck.  The scale length is 660 mm.  The bridge is Indian Rosewood.  The finish is shellac (French polish).  It is fitted with Gotoh gold plated tuning machines.  It is a Ramirez design guitar with Torres-style fan bracing.  This is a large guitar with a concert-hall voice.

Here's a classical made with a spruce top (notice the bear-claw figure) and yellow cedar back and sides.  There is a hint of a burl in the lower bout of the back.  The neck is Spanish cedar, the fingerboard and head-plate are ebony, and the bridge is rosewood.  Because of the yellow cedar back and sides, everybody thinks this guitar is a flamenco guitar, but it is not.  Scale length is 660 mm with Torres-style bracing.  Somewhat stiffer than the rosewood/cedar guitar above, it will have, nonetheless, a big voice when it is fully 'awake'.
