Throughout the ages, the guitar has been preceded by a plethora of stringed instruments. Though many are still in use today, the guitar has exceeded all of them in popularity and utility. In the mid 19th century, the guitar became standardized in it's size and basic design.
A guitar, built in 1859 by Antonio de Torres was the inspiration that helped establish patterns for the M1. Steel strings, a 14th fret neck joint and the A.Davis bracing and construction geometry combine to form a blueprint for the modern classical guitar.
The M1 is well recognized as a recording star in the hands of Dean Parks. It is truly an all around instrument, working well for writing and performing -Mike Lennon [Venice], Mark Bryan [Hootie..], Gary Hoey- or just playing around -PGA tour proJohn Rollins.
Also available in this body type are thePaniolo (a 12th fret nylon string from the same molds), and the Classic made in the Spanish style.
