This flamenco guitar was built by master craftsman José Salinas in 2025. José Salinas was born in Almería in 1974. His art and skill as a guitar maker stem from his passion for flamenco, to which he has dedicated much of his life as a cantaor (flamenco singer), and from his love of wood, as his father, a cabinetmaker by trade, passed on to him the knowledge needed to work with this noble material during the more than seven years he spent working alongside him in his workshop.

The woods used for its construction are of extraordinary quality. The soundboard is made of German spruce with a fine and uniform grain throughout, while the sides and back are of beautiful cypress with straight, homogeneous grain.

This flamenco guitar is truly spectacular in every sense. Like its “black sister,” it conveys that “Vicentero” character we love so much, but with a slightly faster and more aggressive response—a characteristic that sets cypress guitars apart. Once again, the tuning is perfect and precise, something that may seem simple to achieve but in reality is not, and this directly affects tonal quality while greatly enhancing harmonic projection and sustain. A precise and beautiful instrument of impressive craftsmanship, offering overall quality far above its cost.

The woods of this flamenco guitar are of the highest quality available. The soundboard is made of German spruce, with a very pronounced, straight, and uniform grain that guarantees its quality. The sides and back are made of Indian rosewood with straight grain and beautiful shades. The finishes are sober and elegant.

This flamenco guitar delivers an exceptional sound. It has that deep, raspy tone with that unmistakably “Vicentero” character that we love so much. As we always say when we talk about Salinas guitars, the tuning is perfect and precise—something that might seem simple to achieve, but in reality is not, and this directly impacts tonal quality while greatly enhancing harmonic projection and sustain. A precise and beautiful instrument of impressive quality, offering an overall standard far above its cost.

The string action and setup of this guitar are simply perfect, allowing for extremely comfortable playability in both hands and optimizing fluency when playing the instrument.

The condition is brand new.
