Way back in 2004 I visited Casa Luthier and examined a few of the wonderful old guitars they have. I remember a Barbero, Santos Hernández and some lovely guitars made in Catalunya, Spain. One which especially impressed me was a Simplicio and it had this rosette pattern. I never took a photo and I don’t remember the colour scheme but he has used a light pattern on a dark background as well as the opposite so I am happy enough to go with the former and still be true to his spirit.
