Lester Devoe, the great American flamenco guitar builder, has now retired, a sad day for flamenco players and lovers around the world. He was 'discovered' in the 1980s by Sabicas, who played Devoe guitars for the rest of his career. He was then embraced by Paco de Lucia, Vicente Amigo, El Viejin and other renowned flamenco pros, and today many consider him one of the greatest flamenco builders of the last several decades. This particular guitar plays immaculately, with the setup and intonation that Lester is famous for. It's got plenty of volume and punch, a soulful flamenco voice, and is in near perfect condition - an absolutely classic blanca, with spectacular quality spruce and cypress, Lester's most classic and attractive 'roses' rosette modelled after early Ramirez, and "Pegheds" tuners that look like traditional pegs but easily tune thanks to their mechanical precision. Many say Lester built his best instruments after 2010, and this one from 2012 is certainly a stunner. Available now, as good as new, and impossible to get from Lester himself. A chance to own what is now - a piece of guitar history.
