Flamenco guitar Vicente Amigo´s Lester Devoe 2010

The Californian guitar maker Lester Devoe is the luthier who made this fine flamenco guitar, made in 2010. 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.

This guitar has belonged to maestro Vicente Amigo, one of the most representative figures in flamenco guitar of all time. It was specially built for him by maestro Lester Devoe and features a headstock designed by Vicente Amigo himself. The guitar retains its original bones calibrated and adjusted specifically to meet the needs and demands of the maestro.

The different kinds of wood picked for this guitar are really exclusive. The canadian cedar of the sound top shows a truly smooth grain, straight and uniform through the entire surface. The back and sides are made of Indian rosewood with a amazing grain and beautiful colors. The finishes are simply perfect.

Its sound surpasses all expectations one may have when testing a guitar. Its bass strings are powerful with a percussive and beautifully dry tone, while the trebles are crystalline with outstanding projection and clarity. An authentic gem capable of enchanting even the most demanding guitarist, which we can also hear in the hands of maestro Jerónimo Maya on his album ‘Pureza y Solera’.

The action of this flamenco guitar is medium, and the height of the strings in the fingerboard and saddle is perfect and balanced, assuring great comfort on both hands and easing up the guitarist performance.

The condition of this flamenco guitar is excellent and completely original, without any kind of cracks or repairs whatsoever.
