The Gabriela model II is a grand concert classical guitar, with double reinforced sides. As against the Gabriela I model, the model II is made with a sandwiched top. The workmanship on this instrument is impeccable, and tone wise it is simply jaw dropping.  Vicente picked this particular guitar to bring to the 2009 NAMM show -- a international show for music dealers -- to demo his new Gabriela II model. Obviously he chose a very special instrument for this show. This is a powerful, well balanced instrument, with deep basses, and sweet trebles that sing in every register.
