Domingo Esteso (1882 - 1937) was trained by Manuel Ramirez (just like Modesto Borreguero, Santos Hernandez and Enrique Garcia). In 1915 he set up his own workshop at Calle Gravina 7 in Madrid. He is considered one of the greatest luthiers in the history of Spanish lutherie.
This guitar was built in 1930. The bass are deep and the trebles are mellow and colorful. The timbre and musicality are of a great expressive richness.
