This flamenco guitar is built with superior quality woods, impossible to obtain nowadays. The top are made of german spruce has a totally straight and even grain, which is quite accentuated. The back and sides are made of cypress wood, whose beauty and quality are simply magnificent.

The sound is extraordinary, with an unbeatable character. A guitar with such great sound for flamenco playing in any of its variants: concert and accompanying to singing and dancing, perfect both for live music and studio recording. This guitar´s strumming is just unbeatable: it has Reyes´s distinctive timbre: broken and bright, but with the added personality acquired as time goes by, making this sound the quintessence of FLAMENCO.

The tension is medium, very comfortable for both hands, due to the reduced height of strings in the fingerboard. The height on the fret 12 is 2.3 millimeters, which allows our left hand to do its job very easily and fluently.

The condition is excellent and completely original, without any kind of cracks or repairs whatsoever. The pickguards present a little unimportant aesthetic fault, as they are slightly shrunk.
