The serial number I believe puts this guitar in the 1960's
Once I started playing this I fell in love with it's authentic tone and minimalist rustic charm.
This guitar still plays like a dream and sounds classic, romantic, natural and dynamic. Sweet from a whisper to a loud flamenco strum.
It is in excellent condition and has had some professional retoration work done, securing this guitar's stability for many years to come . There are some minor scratches on the back of the head from being hung on a hook.
All the important areas of the guitar such as neck top and back are in great shape. The guitar has a loved patina with small playing marks and checks that only add to the beauty.
This is an excellent performance instrument.
The action is 3.1 mm at the 12th fret so the intonation is lovely all over the neck.
The bone nut is cut to perfection and is easy on the fingers being nice and close to the fret.
This guitar is suitable for flamenco styles.
The neck is fat with a flat back so is easy on the thumb.
These guitars are rare and have fetched up to £5,000 at auction.
Comes with a hard case
