This 1927 Francisco Simplicio is one of the most extraordinary historical guitars I’ve had the chance to present. With its ornate detailing, hand-carved scroll headstock overlaid in gold foil, and original Brazilian rosewood tornavoz, this instrument is a rare glimpse into the golden era of Spanish guitar making. As it approaches its 100th birthday, it still sings with incredible warmth, resonance, and lyrical beauty.
Once you hear it, you’ll understand why Simplicios are so deeply treasured by collectors and players alike.

What tuning do you have on the Simplicio?
As a keen hobby luthier I frequently dip into your videos to listen to the quality of the sounds demonstrated on these wonderful guitars and I aspire to create something similar when I construct one. However, I have to say that the beauty and sound quality of the Simplicio, after nearly one hundred years, amazed and thrilled me. Absolutely astonishing and beautiful. Thanks you for demonstrating, I’m off to research to origins of the Simplicio sound.
Good Lord… is it possible to truly love an inanimate object. Wow, just… Wow. That Simplicio is superb. Peerless.
There are modern guitar makers who use tornavoz but they don't come close to that sound. This guitar is amazing because the maker was a genius.
What a silky sound. Gorgeous!
You're like a kid in a candy store whenever you get a Simplicio in your hands. You know you want to keep it for yourself. It's truly an amazing instrument.
Evan you knocked it out of the park with this one, dude. Nice Castilian lisp on Barcelona, lol. And you're right, nothing much can top a guitar like this.
Oh that's a perfect and magical guitar; a total jewel. Happy Easter
That’s a magical instrument, the bass…
oh yeah, I'm jealous. if money were no object a Simplicio is one I would definitely buy
That tone is so beautiful and deep
The fine “old” master instruments always have their own magic! Many thanks for the beautiful presentations – here a wonderful Simplicio from 1927 – incredible !!! Warm musical greetings from Germany, Angelika ????
