This flamenco guitar was made by the master luthier Domingo Esteso´s nephews in the emblematic workshop in 7 Gravina Street. This workshop was owned by Faustino, Mariano and Julio Conde. Lots of great performers have been in this workshop. For example, Paco de Lucía, Melchor de Marchena, Niño Ricardo, Cepero, Pepe Habichuela, and so many others.
This guitar is made of excellent woods, impossible to obtain nowadays. The different woods in this flamenco guitar are of the top existing quality. The german spruce top has got a very marked, straight and even grain. The back and sides are curly maple, a wood with acoustic qualities and extraordinary beauty.
This guitar has got great character. While testing it thoroughly, we noticed really powerful and bright bass strings, as well as vivid trebles with great scope, all of which make a guitar with an extraordinarily high sound qualit, which makes us understand the respect and admiration that this firm gets from the guitar world.
This flamenco guitar has got medium tension, and a perfect height of strings in the saddle and fingerboard, providing the guitarist with a high degree of comfort for both hands, as well as an easy performance.
The condition of the guitar is excellent, without any crack or repair whatsoever.
