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.)*******************Make OFFER! Although this is priced to sell now (reduced considerably from original asking price), I'm out of work and will consider any reasonable offer. 1997 Rafael Diaz Special Flamenco. Built in Granada, the Cremona of the Flamenco guitar, this guitar is of the quality of the better Granada flamencos--but with a twist.The curly ("tiger") maple body gives it a more charming, open and less aggressive tone than they typical Granada attack dogs. A version of this model with inferior tuners and less fancy headstock is selling on a Spanish website for 2300 Euros, so this is a great deal.
WOOD >
German Spruce top; curly Maple back and sides; Ebony fretboard; Spanish Cedar neck; Brazilian headstock face and bridge.
SPECS >
Nut: 52
Scale: 664
Upper bout: 11"
Lower bout: 14 3/4"
Depth: 3" (Granada School)
Action: 3.5 on low E (and no room to lower)
CONDITION >
At least very good--perfect playing order. Virtually no fret wear; some wear to fretboard. Considerable nail pitting outside tap plates. Some small spots on bass side of fretboard near top of neck (purely cosmetic). there is also a slight discoloration (spill?) on treb side of butt (see photo). NO ISSUES.Case is in perfect working order; top layer slightly coming off in one patch; structurally sound. Due to insurance, I can't offer free shipping on this one. I can, however, offer returns. As long as you buy in good faith--that is, because you really intend to keep, not just to try out-- and if you feel that it does not meet the expectations created by its description, contact me within three days of receiving. Obviously, you'll have to cover return shipping (fully insured, that will run you way more the $50 I'm charging here).LOWBALLERS WILL NOT BE HONORED WITH A RESPONSE. Right now, I've come upon a treasure trove of a collection a close friend wants to move for him; he's offered me a great price for the lot and I'm more than happy to pass savings along to you. Inventory includes some AMAZING classical and flamenco guitars--Spanish guitars by Francisco Fernandez (si!) and a couple inexpensive 1960s replicas of famous makers' guitars; vintage Asturias AST-50; early '80s Yamaha G255Sii in immaculate condition; an astonishing "Starburst" classical by Darren Hippner (new--best price anywhere by at least $500): 706-372-4310. 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.
