Description
This incredible flamenco guitar is made by Maestro Manuel de la Chica, regarded as the most important guitar maker of Granada .
The craftsmanship of this outstanding guitar is a fine example of mastering Spanish luthiery.
Do not be fooled by this feather weight flamenco - only 2 lbs-15oz- It is a virtual cannon in volume and bass response.
Features:
Very high quality German Spruce top- tight,even grain pattern
The back and sides are made of seasoned Cypress, and blend nicely in coloration to the top.
A very unique scale length of 666.75 mm that clearly puts this in a category of it's own!
Nut width is 52 mm.
Straight neck -pro set-up with low action
Original white tap plates
Original hardshell case with a fine case cover for travel.
The guitar is the finest sounding flamenco we have had in our store. The guitar plays with the touch and response as compared to the finest Spanish guitars.
Condition: No cracks in the top but some minor dings and scratches that are reflective of a 60 year old guitar. A small number of cracks on the back that were professionally repaired many years ago. A small center seam was re-repaired by us. We also cleaned the back of touch up (over-spray) that hid the repaired cracks. It is buffed to expose the original french polish that matches the untouched top and sides. We are confident that this instrument is reflective of the Maestro's build quality. If you are looking for a world class Flamenco, this just might be the one. It comes with the original case and case cover. We are happy to present this historical gem at a very reasonable price. Thanks for looking!
