A Song By Julian Arcas, My friend and collaborator

This is my  good friend and collaborator Julian Arcas. Julian used many of my guitars for many of his songs.
Probably the most interesting of the guitars I have built, the 1854 is sure to catch anyones ear! Made out of a collective of different woods Cedar, Ebony and Spruce.

In 1854 I built a guitar that would later take on its year "1854." Probably the most sophisticated out of the 6 different types of guitars I have built. this guitar features a pick guard and a custom shaped bridge.
I Built the invincible in 1884. It is constructed of cedar and ebony...
1857
In 1857 I built a guitar that has always been referred as "1857"  This guitar also is made out of a rosewood cedar.




In 1864 I built a guitar that I named "The Supreme" The area of the guitar is 1273 millimeters.













The Blue Prints of The Supreme
On June 13 1817 I was born in La Cañada de San Urbano, Almeria (Spain) to my parents Juan Torres, a local tax collector, and Maria Jurado.
