    1. Re: Jose Perez Concert Guitar
      Chat Virapongse

      I also have a Jose Perez guitar that I bought in Melbourne, Australia at about 1970, almost forty years ago. I have no idea whether it is a concert guitar. Several people have told me it is a student guitar. But it sure doesn’t play like one. It is the best guitar I have ever played on. And I have played on several good guitars. I would like to find out more about it. I bought it at that time for $A500. I have no plans to sell it however- not for all the tea in China.

        : Probably mid-to-late 1980’s…I have a model 249 from 1984.

        My wife bought me one in 1985, and I still have it. It cost her about $250 at the time. It’s made in Korea. She told me that the guy at the shop told her it would age well. Neck is straight, and it stays in tune. I wouldn’t consider it a classic, but well made for the price at the time.

        I have a beautiful Carlos model 250 that I received as a graduation gift in 1980. One tuning peg needs replacement but otherwise it’s near mint condition. Beautiful blonde wood front and back.

      2. CARLOS 210
        JOSEPH TIBBALL

        I actually picked this #210 out of someones garbage!……new nut and bridge, Martin strings and a little tlc and I’ve got one of the nicest sounding guitars in my collection…..looking for the value…..CARLOS #210 MADE IN KOREA…I think in 1979.
        Any info??

      3. Carlos M/# 236 made in 1956
        Sonny

        This guitar is 2 piece back with inlay wood all around sound opening. It has a wide key board and is for classical playing or something to that effect. I last tuned it 3 years ago and it still has held it’s tuning. A little off but very little and checked with digital meter. I really don’t know the value but I have several box guitars and some electric and at this time I would sell any of my others before I’d sell this one. That’s how impressive it is.
        Thank You,
        Sonny

      : can anyone help me find an all in one bridge tail peice like the one used on the gibson melody makers (C) 1959

      1. Re: all in one bridge tailpeice
        Charles R Frazier Jr

        I too am searching for a bridge/tailpeice. I just purchased a Nelody Maker and it has a one-peice bridge/tailpeice, but, there are no compensators on it and that makes tuning impossible. If someone could get me a URL where they carry proper bridge/tailpeices (with molded-on compensators) I would be very happy. Thanks, Charles

        Bueno os podéis poner en contacto conmigo ya que mi padre tiene tres instrumentos de Ignacio Fleta.
        Tuvo tambien un instrumento de 1959 que vendio 500 dolares a uno de sus alumnos en los años sesenta. Increible no?
