Beautiful playing on a beautiful piece. Didn't Barrios actually play on steel strings?

 

Love the guitar too.

there's debate on barrios use of strings. some say it was all 3 trebles. some say only B and E. Some say only the high E.

 

his nails must have been steel to play Catedral on steel strings tho.

How many of you noticed that these guitars have 13 frets to the neck???

i did. almost makes me wanna capo at the 1st fret. but ah well. still a rad little piece of history. makes me wonder who was the first to own it. etc. who sang songs of love & loss... who pawned her, and who won her back. i get chills just looking at this guitar.
