Ah! Simplicio! This is one of those guitars The Simplicio is a very dark, lush, and sweet sounding guitar. I wouldn’t hesitate to use the word Velvet for this guitar. The treble is there but in a very rounded, pillow like way with a soft feel. The basses are full but not biting like a more modern guitar. The ornate headstocks of Simplicio are always eye-catching but the deep, smokey spruce top almost rivals it in allure.
