Espana Guitars Made in Sweden

Posted by Anonymous on Sun, 04/10/2022 - 13:22.

These are classical guitars - they require nylon classical strings. Steel strings damage a classical guitar. Classical guitars have the tuners facing to the back, behind the guitar, and usually have the open holes where the machine heads turn to tighten the strings. Let’s keep these beautiful instruments working well! Cheers.

Espana SL2

Posted by AnonymousBob on Sat, 06/05/2021 - 16:20.

I bought one of these at Sam Ash on Long Island in the very early 70s. Brought it to Colorado and it cracked badly and I gave it to some girl learning guiitar. It was a good looking guitar and played well.

1964 Espana

Posted by Mike on Fri, 10/16/2009 - 12:05.

I have an Espana number 41275 stamped in the headstock. It was a highschool graduation present from my parents in June 1964. Bought in Halifax Canada and now residing in Bangkok. I do not play it much but it is in excellent condition and still in the original hard case. mikeadair10 at gmail dot com
