Description

This is a monster of a mid-century style flamenco blanca and as good a representative of this style as any instrument by any other maker from the period. It is featherlight, has a huge, raspy sound and great flamenco bark with piercing volume. Yet if coaxed, it has a lyrical, singing quality to it yet at the same time. This is an extremely versatile instrument that has incredibly livliness and energy. It's in great condition for its age - apart from two cracks in the top (including a splice) and two cracks in the back (all repaired and stable), it is in excellent shape and in performance-ready condition. Thanks to a slender and easy neck shape and snappy responsiveness, playability is a breeze, as is the norm for this maker. It is also fitted with old-school pegs making this a classic, traditional mid-century flamenco all around.

This guitar was donated to our non-profit charitable organization, the GSI Foundation. Guitar sales through the GSI Foundation raise money to directly benefit music education in public schools. Feel free to contact us for more information.
