This flamenco guitar was built by master luthier Francisco Barba in 2017. Regarded as one of the finest guitar makers in the world, his guitars have earned widespread acclaim and are played by renowned guitar makers, collectors and guitarists such as Niño de Pura, Manuel Molina, Rafael Riqueni and Pepe Habichuela, among many others.

The woods used for this flamenco guitar are of the highest available quality. The soundboard is made of German spruce, featuring a very pronounced, straight and even grain that reflects the exceptional quality of the wood. The Indian rosewood back and sides display a beautiful straight grain and stunning natural colouring. The decorative purfling and finishing details are simply flawless.

The sound of this guitar has truly special characteristics and nuances. From the very first notes, the unmistakable tonal signature of its maker becomes apparent, with the deeply flamenco character that defines his instruments. It stands out for its extraordinary balance between bass and treble, immediate response and rich overtones, bringing depth, clarity and personality to every note. Its sound combines remarkable power and volume with impeccable definition, while maintaining precise tuning and exceptional tonal quality across the entire register. A guitar with a voice of its own, capable of delivering all the strength, character and expressiveness that flamenco demands.

The guitar offers medium action, with perfectly balanced string height both along the fingerboard and at the bridge saddle, providing excellent comfort for both hands and making it particularly easy to play.

The guitar is in excellent, completely original condition, with no cracks or repairs of any kind.
