Before reading the description of this item, I urge you to first check out my Ebay Seller Feedback. As you will see, my feedback is not only 100% positive--it's over-the-top giddy, a number noting not only the instrument's quality but also my integrity and knowledge and objectivity. I never disappoint. (To find out why buyers again and again describe my sells as "best experience I've ever had on Ebay," skip the description and see the WHAT I DO section at the end of the listing.)*******************Originally offered for $1295 (and, I believe, originally selling for $1500), this is a rare opportunity to own an Old School Spanish flamenco blanca in perfect working order, low action, with soft case at a very affordable price. Built by Francisco Ortiz in Seville in 1974, this is the classic Spanish handmade blanca: German spruce top, true Mediterranean Cypress, bone nut and saddle, ebony fretboard, French polish entire, nice Schaller tuners (presumably not original), golpeadors; light weight; great bite and bark, real easy player.
No issues affecting sound, structural integrity, playability or potential longevity of the instrument. A very thin hairline crack below the bridge was professionally repaired years ago--the right way, cleated/refinished--is completely stable and has no effect on anything other than getting me to know a couple hundred dollars off to make it easier to sell. Otherwise, pretty remarkable condition for a 42 year old guitar. Sound: true traditional blanca--has the one thing you can't build into a guitar: age. Soulful, warm edge, great mojo.
This guitar is a blast to play. Comes with two saddles--one compensated, which gives it action of 3.4mm on low E, and another which gives it a hair over 3mm (and absolutely no room to lower).
No case, but don't worry--will be securely double-boxed and, of course, fully insured. Feel free to inquire further, as needed: 706-372-4310. Right now is a great time to get something from me--I'm out of work and everything is priced to sell. Some pretty amazing things (some listed, some not--both steel strings as well as classicals). WHAT I DOFor over a decade, I have searched out guitars of every conceivable sort, always looking for the unique instrument, especially those that are, 1.) great deals; and/or 2.) possessed of real character. I take care to ensure that each guitar is set up and playable as is--new strings, action as described, NO ISSUES: If you get it from me, it's ready to play out of the box. My prices are always competitive, usually well below what a similar instrument comparably set up would sell for elsewhere. A few typical Ebay feedbacks (some from repeat buyers):Fantastic! As promised. Great communication. Great guitar.
