VICENTE AMIGO’S guitar: LESTER DEVOE 2003


In Solera Flamenca we offer our customers one of the guitars belonging to the Maestro Vicente Amigo, one of the most representative leading figures of the flamenco guitar in history. A real genius of this instrument, making a huge contribution to the evolution and dissemination of this genre all around the world.

It is a guitar made by LESTER DEVOE del año 2003, one of the best guitar builders of our time, that maestro Vicente Amigo kept for several years, making use of it during this period. The guitar preserves the original set up bones, specially adjusted to satisfy the Maestro’s demands and needs. The condition is completely original, showing the typical wear signs on fingerboard and neck, caused by endless hours of study and rehearsal spent with Vicente Amigo. SEE THE GUITAR

Talking about Vicente Amigo means talking about one of the greatest geniuses nowadays. Flamenco art would not be the same without him, just like Tomatito or Paco de Lucía. His contribution to the guitar in particular and to music in general is amazing: his own style, unprecedented character, all of which allows the audience to identify his sound after a couple of notes.

¿Who hasn´t heard the expression “It sounds like Paco”, or “It sounds like Vicente”? They are geniuses of our time, with such a big scope covered that it is practically impossible for a guitarist to compose something without reminding us of these Maestros, largely due to his falsetas.

In Solera Flamenca we offer our customers a unique and exclusive opportunity: Owning a guitar which belonged to a true genius of the flamenco guitar. One of the greatest ones ever.

Before our farewell, we will leave you with a video of Maestro Vicente Amigo playing some of his compositions, where the creative skills and virtuosity of this essential flamenco figure are clearly reflected.
