Steven Eden is a well known British luthier based in Bexhill, Sussex. He has made guitars for many leading players including Mark Eden, Sean Shibe and the flamenco guitarist Juan Martin.

This guitar is a replica of the Spanish luthier Vincente Arias (1833-1914). He was making at the same time as the more famous Antonio de Torres. Francisco Tarrega played instruments by both Torres and Arias. There are only 40 known surviving original Arias guitars left. This is guitar #142 by Stephen Eden.

The guitar is in superb condition and is a breath taking looking instrument! The woods and construction are of the highest quality. The sound is sensitive and sweet and despite the size the tone is warm resonant and generous.

An adorable guitar in all, perfect for playing late 19 century early 20 century repertoire.
