This flamenco guitar was built by master luthier Geoff Rashe in 2026. Geoff Rashe understood the union of art and science from a very young age. First as a student of Applied Mathematics at the University of California, San Diego, he later transitioned into the design and construction of surfboards while earning a degree in General Literature. Surfing and the study of the Spanish language led him to move to Spain in 1990, beginning a lifelong love affair with Spanish art, music, and above all, flamenco guitar. When he built his first guitar, he felt he had found his true calling. Due to the difficulty of finding master luthiers willing to teach him the secrets and methods of guitar making in California, he began a relentless and obsessive search for guitars built by the finest flamenco guitar makers in history. Over time, he assembled outstanding examples by Manuel Ramírez, Santos Hernández, Domingo Esteso, the Conde Brothers, Gerundino Fernández, Manuel Reyes, and Marcelo Barbero. He studied these instruments down to the smallest detail to the point of considering these great artisans his true masters. Geoff Rashe currently resides in his hometown of Santa Cruz, California.

For all these reasons, owning a guitar by Geoff Rashe is not merely holding a high-level instrument in your hands; it is investing in a true masterpiece that will, over time, increase in both artistic and patrimonial value. Today, renowned guitarists such as Maestro Diego del Morao place their trust in his instruments for both live performances and studio recordings. SEE NEWS

The woods used in the construction of this flamenco guitar are of the highest possible quality and have undergone a long natural drying process. Genuine German spruce has been selected for the soundboard, while the back and sides are made from beautiful pao ferro, a combination that provides enormous harmonic richness, tonal depth, and an elegant, sophisticated appearance. The soundboard features a very pronounced, straight, and uniform grain throughout its entire surface, while the back and sides stand out for the natural beauty and spectacular figure of the pao ferro.

The sound of this flamenco guitar is truly a dream come true. A guitar with the projection and clarity of a high-end negra concert guitar, yet with the warmth and acoustic speed of a blanca. Without a doubt, we are in front of one of the most relevant flamenco guitar makers of our time. The sound offered by this instrument is simply stunning: powerful, open, and with extraordinary projection, accompanied by deep basses and bright trebles full of nuances. Its fast response, excellent note separation, and unmistakable flamenco character make this guitar an inspiring instrument both for concert performance and studio recording.

This guitar features the highly appreciated “rebound” feel in the right hand combined with exceptional softness in the left hand, achieving the “perfect instrument” for playing comfortably for hours without fatigue and with an effortless sensation.
