This is a well played, rescued, time-capsule of a vintage flamenco guitar. It was "lost" in a storage unit since around the early 1980s. The stuff in case including practice notes shows that it was well played through the 1970s, but there is an unopened pack of smokes that dates back to the early 80s!! I rescued this vintage piece from sure destruction - it's playable and sounds amazing. I've been searching the internet and only found one other one like it here: As I said, this guitar is very well played and shows it. Wear marks, sweat stains, and a small crack on the back that I was told could doesn't affect it's play and is easily repaired. No loose bracing or bridge, no pieces missing. Tuning pegs could be reworked/tightened, and frets are worn but playable, with really great low action and a loud bright sound. The worst thing about it is the finish. Besides the normal wear and tear from a professionally played instrument, a stick-on clear guard was stuck to the guitar for 30 years(!) and had soaked into the finish. The clear guard was professionally removed by freezing it with CO2, releasing the adhesive, but the adhesive had 30 years to soak into the finish and there was already damage done. I'm uploading as many photos as eBay will allow me to show all of this. I'm not a classical/flamenco player, but my father was in the '70s. I did take one video of him playing this guitar, but I'm not sure eBay will do videos. I fill figure out a way to provide it. I will also add info on scale between the nut and bridge nut, fingerboard width, nut width etc later tonight. Shipping will be Fed Ex - guitar comes in it's original case, and I'll ask a local guitar store for a shipping box. I will do FREE Shipping at my asking price. Otherwise shipping and insurance is on the buyer. If you are in my area, I'd be happy to have you over to test it before you buy it. I'm confident you will be amazed at the sound of this amazing vintage Spanish guitar. More photos can be found here:
