Buy an exellent but affordable flamenco guitar

9 Comments / By /

I am a flamenco guitarist, immigrant in the United
States, who plays 200 – 250 shows a year. My guitars
are of the highest possible quality (Gerundino
Fernandez; Manuel Reyes; Lester Devoe), and on some
occasions (an all-night outdoor fiesta for example)
they are simply overshooting the job and it is a pity
to use them.

After many years of looking for a cheaper alternative
that would feel and play like the guitars mentioned
above, that would sound good and inspiring, and that
would cost a fraction, I finally found one in Sevilla,
Spain. After bringing it to the USA, all my friends
and students wanted one, too. So now I am importing
them.

The guitar is more or less the size and feel of a
Manuel Reyes; the materials used are:
Soundboard: choice of German Spruce, or American Cedar
Neck: Spanish Cedar
Fingerboard: Ganadillo (the hardest of all rosewoods)
Sides and back: Sicamoro
The tuners are machines. Wooden pegs are also
available, but not all the time.

      Hola Jose

      Soy aficionado de las guitarras del maestro Gerundino. Compre una de cipres y abete en 1993 y esta guitarra esta considerada una de las mejores en Cadiz.

      Desgradaciamente, no vi el programa de Canal Sur, Senderos de Gloria, dedicado a Gerundino y me gusteria mucho encontrar un video.

      Suerte
