This flamenco guitar was made in 1983 by Gerundino Fernández, a prestigious guitar maker, born in Almería. He is regarded as one of the best guitar makers ever, despite the facts of being self-taught and leading a bohemian life in his last years. His guitars have been present in stages all over with guitar performers like Paco Peña, Tomatito, Raimundo Amador…
The woods used in this flamenco guitar are of the highest quality available. The Canadian cedar top displays a very pronounced, straight, and uniform grain across its entire surface. The sides and back are made from extraordinary Indian rosewood — a combination of woods rarely found in flamenco guitars built by Gerundino. Gerundino Fernández was extremely selective when choosing woods for his guitars, always seeking excellence in both acoustics and beauty, and this can be appreciated in each and every instrument he crafted throughout his life.
The sound that emanates from this guitar is truly spectacular. It has that special and distinctive tone that sets the guitars of this master luthier apart from the rest. The bass strings are deep and growling, with a “hollow” sound that is, interestingly, also found in the trebles, giving the whole instrument a sublime balance and resonance. Its volume, the quality and warmth of its tone, along with its strong personality, elevate this instrument to the category of a true work of art.
The action is medium, with perfectly balanced string height at the saddle and fingerboard, providing great comfort for both hands.
The condition of this flamenco guitar is excellent and completely original, without any kind of cracks or repairs whatsoever.
