Classical Guitar

It is by far my greatest skill. I can guarantee I will not be as good at anything else as long as I live. It also represents one of the degrees I am currently pursuing.
As such I have a number of nice guitars in my possession. Videos of all of them are at the bottom of this post (I tried putting them in the middle of the text, but the formatting got very screwy).
My primary instrument is a 2015 Glenn Canin doubletop, cedar/balsa/cedar. This is everything a modern guitar should be: Easy to play, incredibly loud (even in the high registers), beautiful smooth tone. Here are some photos of watches featuring this guitar:

Before my Canin I played a guitar by Costa Rican luthier Guillermo Porras Salazar (made 2014). Single cedar top, lattice bracing, made in the style of luthier Rafael Granados. While not as loud or playable as the Canin, this guitar has more personality. The highlight is its extremely warm sound.
And finally, my first nice guitar, built in 2012, is this fabulous Yulong Guo ‘Chamber Concert’ model. Double top, cedar/nomex/cedar. It was not handmade by a single luthier like the other two, instead constructed in a workshop by a small team of craftsmen. Despite the slightly more industrial production process, it is still a fabulous guitar, and demonstrates that great guitar makers can be found all across the world. Photo is not mine, but far better than anything I could take:
Needless to say, I am always incredibly grateful to my parents for making my journey in music possible, including the purchase of these guitars. I was 11, 13, and 14 years old when 'we' bought these instruments. Having such nice guitars at such a young age is a luxury, but it has definitely helped my playing develop faster and better than it otherwise would have. I am proud to say that late this summer, the first guitar purchased with my own dollars will arrive. I will share as soon as it is here
The best part! Videos! First is the Canin, then the Salazar, then the Guo.
