Flamenco guitar Víctor Quintanilla 8/2022 (Sequoia)

This flamenco guitar has been made by master luthier Víctor Quintanilla in 2022. 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 is one of the guitars we received built with the sequoia wood that we acquired a few months ago and that we distributed among the best guitar makers so that they could build guitars of superior quality for us, exclusive and unique. (YOU CAN ACCESS THE NEWS BY CLICKING HERE)

This flamenco guitar was a real “adrenaline rush” on the very day we received it! We could not simply believe it: a guitar which had just been made and tuned (the strings were completely loose) with the quality of a much older guitar, and an anstonishing power, speed and sound quality.
There is no doubt this instrument gathers the extraordinarily high quality of sequoia wood and the good wise work of this fantastic luthier. As a result, the outcome could not be different from this gem.

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.
