The "Model 17A" ("A" for "antiqued" look) is based largely on an 1864 Torres, known as "FE 17" - the earliest of Tarrega’s 3 Torres instruments that he would play throughout his career. This is a charming, first-epoch style guitar with a slightly more compact body size and shorter scale length.

"They are outstanding instruments, which I have had the privilege to encounter while preparing my photo essays for Orfeo Magazine, and which are housed in collections in France, Spain, Italy, Germany and the [US]." - Alberto Martinez

Like their instruments, this guitar is lightly built, has a fast, immediate attack and is followed by a lovely and full, harmonically rich quality of sound in every note.

For performers and collectors alike, the name Ignacio Fleta ranks among the elite handful of 20^th century luthiers. Marcelo tells us that he had Francisco and Gabriel Fleta touch it up twice, and they slightly re-shaped the neck. This is one of the strongest, most powerful Fletas we have seen.

This is the second of Yulong's winning "Granada" models we've received from him, and it reminded us just how pleased we are to be the exclusive US representative for this model. Its sound is as lovely as the appearance - velvety, smooth and balanced across all registers.

This guitar is a monster of a blanca built in the 3^rd decade both of this guitar maker’s career and of the 20^th century. Although it was built in the mid-1920s, it has all the punch and power normally associated with the great mid-century Andalucian flamencos.
