CustomGuitarVideo.com | In 1991 the famous "La Leona" of Antonio de Torres FE04 (1856) reappeared to the public eye. In an almost thriller-like endeavor a German Collector travelled to Barcelona, Spain to buy a guitar with a suitcase full of cash money. The guitar was in an extremely bad condition. Dipl. Ing. Benno Streu from Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany was one of the first to see the newly discovered treasure. In his attempt to bring famous "lioness" back to life, he not only saved an outstanding guitar from falling apart, he also discovered a couple of extremely interesting facts of the way Torres approached guitar building. We met Dipl. Ing. Benno Streu in June 2005, two years before his unexpected death. I are extremely thankful and glad that he shared some of his extensive knowledge with us, because his plans to write a book never came to happen.
