This is a great example of Barba's top work. It is visually stunning and features many unique and lovely details including the subtle use of "midnight blue" in some of the inlays in the purflings surrouding the top, tie-block and inside/outside the rosette. The guitar is ultra-lightweight, like a feather and therefore has lightning fast response. Tone is fat and balanced with enormous punch, volume and flamenco edge. In other words - a very powerful and lively Andalusian flamenco guitar by every measure. Playability is a breeze - it has an easy and sleek neck with low flamenco action and just the right amount of "sizzle" which adds to the authentic southern Spanish flamenco sound. Condition is amazing, no prior damage or repairs, just some very minor wear in a few areas in the finish from prior use. This is a top concert instrument for any professional flamenco setting - whether on stage or in studio.
