When de Torres built his guitars, they were characterized by 6 strings tuned with wooden pegs, and a body that's smaller than a classical guitar. Spanish cypress was used for the back and sides. Up to this day they use cypress to construct guitars. It's a low action guitar, with the strings closer to the frets to enable fast fingering and a narrow fingerboard. A tap plate protects the face from the tapping and slapping by the guitar players' right-hand fingernails. Some guitarists prefer the depth of the classical guitar when playing solos.
