2009 Tomatito "La Chanca" SP/CY

For legendary flamenco guitarist Tomatito to put his name on a line of flamenco guitars, he had to find an extraordinary luthier (or, as it turned out, two) to design and build the guitars to his exacting specifications. Juan Miguel Gonzales and Vicente Carillo turned out to be a perfect match for Tomatito’s vision. The fusion between these two guitar makers, each bringing his personal experience, made it possible to offer this line of signature model guitars, backed by the professionalism and caliber of a guitarist like Tomatito. They were made according to the strict specifications of Jose Fernandez Torres (Tomatito), and each guitar was personally inspected by him (including him signing the label) to assure an unparalleled level of quality control, assuring the satisfaction of any guitarist, amateur or professional.

This model, the "La Chanca", was the top model of the Tomatito line and represents an incredible value for a concert-ready flamenco guitar. It has the flamenco bark and growl associated with traditional blancas, and the setup and action is low for easy playability. Although used, it is in excellent condition with only some wear in the finish. With a bright, punchy sound, this an ideal choice for professionals looking for a concert guitar at a more affordable price.
