The Californian guitar maker Lester Devoe is the luthier who made this fine flamenco guitar, made in 2006. Lester Devoe is regarded as one of the best flamenco guitar makers in the world. In fact, his pieces of work have been praised and played by Paco de Lucia, Vicente Amigo, Sabicas… both in recording studios and live concerts.
The different woods in this flamenco guitar are of the top existing quality. The top is made of german spruce, with an outlined grain, straight and smooth, that endorse its exceptional quality. The back and sides are made of Indian rosewood, with a straight grain and beautiful tones. The finishing is elegant and sober. The making is simple, not overelaborate. In fact, it could be labelled as “minimalist”. This adjective has accompanied this luthier from the very beginning of his career, and we love it, as it is in simplicity that greatness is often found.
This guitar is a perfect instrument, it has everything you would ask for in a guitar: strength, volume, projection, character… The trebles resonate like bells, expelling their sound outward without reservation, with surgical precision and tuning, and that bright tone in the bass strings but with just the right depth needed to achieve the force that makes the whole guitar vibrate. In short, a unique instrument of the highest caliber to enjoy tirelessly for a lifetime.
This guitar has the highly-valued “rebound beating” on the right hand, combined with fantastic softness on the left one, thus accomplishing the “perfect instrument”, should we want to spend hours and hours playing non-stop with a nice feeling of ease.
The condition of this flamenco guitar is excellent and completely original, without any kind of cracks or repairs whatsoever.
