The Paulino Bernabe model 2 is a fablous flamenco guitar that has everything professional flamenco players demand: a fast confortable action, trebles that sing in every register and have a certain sizzle, basses that are full-and solid, a wonderful rasp and growl, a depth and seriousness of tone worthy of cante jondo,  balance,  and great intonation. The power of this guitar is also worthy of note: many guitars bottom out when pressed, this one doesn't. Its head-room is impressive, the harder one plays the more it gives. Its projection is, likewise, what one wants in a concert instrument. This guitar not only possess a crystalline clarity of tone, but its has great presence, so even when play softly its voice carries. Of course, the workmanship is flawless, which is what one expects from Paulino.
