As far as I know the most complete list of Torres guitars is found in the Romanillos book: Antonio de Torres Guitar maker: His Life and Work. I think that is essential that we work to update that list. The only logical way to make an updated list is to start with that seminal work and add to it. So most of the entries here will be those found in the catalogue section of that book. It uses a system which assigns FE and a number to those guitars made before Torres began numbering them and then starting in 1875 uses SE to abbreviate “segunda epoca” and using the number given by Torres on the label of those guitars. The SEU denomination is used in Romanillos to show a guitar from the segunda epoca which is not numbered or has an illegible number. This list will continue the author’s conventions including the use of letters to show that a guitar falls between two consecutive numbers.

The guitars listed here have not neccesarily been examined by the authors but have been documented by written sources or photos. I will add information about each guitar, especially information which will help determine the authenticity of those instruments not found in Romanillos. I am hoping for collaboration from any and all experts and owners of Torres guitars. Each entry on this list will have a link to photos, a description and any information available on authenticity including who authenticated the guitar. I will be asking permission to use that information and will include it as I can. As for the authenticity of the instruments I don’t think anyone can make a judgement without seeing the guitar in question. I am hoping for firsthand information.
