Manuel Contreras Flamenco guitar - $...

I posted this on Delcamp and someone suggested this is a better place:

- Type / luthier: Manuel Contreras Flamenco Guitar (estudio model)
- Scale length (mm) 650mm scale
- Top: Spruce
- Back / Sides: Not sure, guessing Cypress
- Fingerboard / (bridge): rosewood?
- Sound: Powerful bright flamenco tone
- Condition: Very good, some scratches, no cracks or other issues, with hard case
- Price: US $600 plus shipping
- Viewing / trial possible: View possible in Potomac, Maryland, USA (just outside of Washington, DC) trial not possible
- Location (nearest city): Potomac, MD, USA

This is a vintage 60's Contreras student flamenco guitar. Very well preserved, sounds and plays great. Also a joy to look at with its classic pegs and cypress back and sides. If you are interested in learning flamenco, or just want a second guitar, this is a great buy. Nice and light, easy to hold, and surprisingly not hard to tune, once you get used to the pegs. I am selling this for a friend, so viewing at my home in Potomac, Maryland is doable, but no trial periods extended.
