One of the old guitars I got a chance to see this year was a 1928 Francisco Simplicio. I think it was coincidence that at about that time I got an order and the client wanted a copy of Simplicio. Having seen a few of his guitars is not always enough so I enlisted some help. Francisco Jimenez did some careful study of the 1928 and I ordered the Simplicio book from La Stanza della Musica in Rome. I have got a good start on the guitar with the headstock carving done and the rosette and purflings ready to install.
