Description

In typical Fleta fashion for this period, this example from 1960 features a spruce soundboard. Interestingly, the sides are Indian rosewood and the back is of CSA rosewood - a much rarer option for Fleta. As expected, the sound is incredible - deep and complex with incredible dynamic range and balance. It also has a firmness in the fundamental which provides great projection in larger venues. Many players find the slender neck shapes on Fleta from this period to be his easiest to play - and this guitar is no exception - playability is easy on the hands, and can be played comfortably over many hours in a single sitting. The guitar does have some cracks (on the top only) that have been expertly repaired by Yuris Zeltins (using only 4 cleats, two splices and glue), but it is in otherwise original condition - including all thicknesses (no sanding), and Fleta's famous varnish from 1960. This is a great sounding and playing guitar from Fleta's golden 'spruce' era - players like Segovia and Williams were concertizing and recording on Fleta instruments from this very period, making this sound one of the most beloved and cherished to modern admirers and aficionados of the classical guitar.
