An acoustic steel-string version of my most popular model. Based on Torres’ small “SE117” guitar of 1888, the size and design of the Sarita-S makes it ideal for smaller players, for travel, or if you just want a compact,  easy playing guitar.

The Sarita-S version uses the same plantilla as the Sarita Classical, but has a deeper body and X-bracing similar to vintage Lyon & Healy parlor guitars of the early 20th century.
