Flamenco guitar Víctor Quintanilla 10/2023

This flamenco guitar has been made by master luthier Víctor Quintanilla in 2023. Víctor Quintanilla is a luthier settled in Mijas, a beautiful and quaint small town in Malaga. Víctor Quintanilla studied carpentry in Escuela Franco (currently IES La Rosaleda, a high school), until his tutors put him in touch with the true maestro of the guitar making in Malaga, José Angel Chacón. Then, he would discover his true calling: the guitar. In 2019 he was awarded the First Prize of the Antonio Marín Montero III International Contest of Guitar Making, in Granada, organized by the European Guitar Foundation, in the discipline of flamenco guitar. When we see and listen to his guitars, their sound quality and power, the degree of perfection and refinement attained… all of it powerfully gets our attention, indeed. He is, no doubt, one of the best luthiers we hope to keep collaborating with, for a long time to come.

This flamenco guitar is exceptionally exclusive. Its rarity is where its beauty lies, as the contrast between the reddish tone of the German spruce top and the pale and exquisite bird’s-eye maple make this instrument a true work of art, the idea of ​​our great friend Conti Idilico Silla. The quality of its woods and finishes, as well as its sound, represent materialized excellence in a guitar. It has a flamenco timbre and sound quality that stand out for their clarity, sharpness, and immediate responsiveness it offers. Its projection is worthy of the finest concert guitars, and the power and volume it emits are truly astonishing.

The comfort that Víctor Quintanilla achieves in each and every one of his instruments, in terms of left- and right-hand touch, is worthy of the highest praise and never ceases to amaze us guitar after guitar. 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 new.
