This guitar was made by Master Luthier Walter Verreydt within the framework of the Leonardo Guitar Research Project. A modern take on an experiment by Antonio de Torres, the back and sides of this guitar were made by gluing together 40 layers of newspaper using a mold. It seriously raises the question as to how much the materials used for backs and sides contribute to the overall sound of an instrument.
