This flamenco guitar was made in 1991 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…
We must remember Gerundino’s guitars in the 80s and 90s were not made by Gerundino himself. The genius was going through difficult times. It was impossible for him to make his guitars with his quality standards. Therefore, he had some help from his brother, and reached some agreements with really good craftsmen so they made the guitars for him, respecting Gerundino’s standards, though. This is easily identifiable by looking at the peculiarities of its stencil, employing the very best woods, which he would personally revise in detail before delivering it to the customer. This is why this guitar is a fantastic opportunity to acquire a top-level instrument for a really interesting price.
The sound quality of this guitar is really exceptional, and offers a surprising degree of power and volume, apart from preserving that personal and flamenco timbre, so typical of Gerundino’s guitars.
The strings height and adjustment which this guitar allows is simply perfect, this permits an extremely comfortable touch in both hands and an increase in fluidity when playing the instrument.
The condition of this flamenco guitar is excellent and completely original, without any kind of cracks or repairs whatsoever.
