Description
This is a commissioned work and an exact replica of the 1951 Marcelo Barbero Ex-Sabicas constructed from R.E. Brune's GAL Instrument Plan #42, by master luthier, German Vazquez Rubio (GVR) . The only difference is that this one has planetary mechanical pegs, which is better and easier to tune. Every spec and detail including the label and handwritten stamp inside are exactly like the original one. It is a very comfortable guitar to play, with low action and the sound is amazing: Very flamenco and very very powerful. It's in excellent condition, with no structural damages or cosmetic blemishes.The actual instrument has changed hands a few times and it was originally made for Carlos Montoya, who gave it to Sabicas, hence, ex-Sabicas. Sabicas recorded the Flamenco Puro album with the original instrument. Please note that the actual original instrument has been changing hands and I was told that it has been approximately selling for $28K+ (not sure of the exact amount).
