The tone of this instrument is sweet, beautiful and lyrical while retaining the bite and energy of flamenco: when playing melodically, it sings like a human voice, but also awakens with a tremendous bite when pushed hard. The strong, voice-like trebles are balanced by it’s big low-end that is full but not boomy. As sweet as the tone is, it still has the aggressive response when pushed in the right direction - rasguedos in particular are quite explosive and powerful.
Condition is excellent with only one minor repair in the lower bout of the back. This guitar is a true masterpiece, and could easily please the most discriminating player or collector. Built in 1989, it dates from one of the more popular periods of his output. Truly a remarkable and rare instrument in such fine condition.
