Lucena 1960s Spanish Flamenco/Classi...

PICS:

Backstory:

My aunt works at an 'old folks home' and they had guitars for the residents to play that were donated over the years. They are getting new ones so the old ones were given to employees if they wanted them. My aunt was "stuck" with this one (she wanted the electric lol) and decided to give it to me as she doesn't even play.
It's been a little banged up over the years, unfortunately. I played it a bit and was very impressed with the sound. I was surprised as I had never heard of the brand, and it was a random free gift so definitely wasn't expecting that.

I decided to look up the guitar and dropped my jaw when I could only find this:

Needless to say I instantly started questioning everything. Is it real? Is it actually that rare? Do they really go for this much?! I have no intention of selling either way but it would still be crazy to know I have a handmade in Spain classical guitar from the 60s. I've only ever owned guitars that cost less than $200, so this would be my forever keeper lol.

Does anyone have any information about these guitars? I would love to hear what you have to say!!

THANK YOU!

Yeah that's my post from back when I got it years back. I never got a solid answer, and I no longer go by Membrane32 lol

On that post you linked someone recommended I post here as I'm more likely to get a better answer here as people know more about these types of guitars. I just finally followed his advice 4 years later

I'm not a reverb shill

Oh ok. I see you just copied and pasted.

Brand new member, 1post, exact same verbatim post on another forum 4 years ago, no intro or 'hello'

The whole post reeked of bot, spam kinda thing.

If that's not the case then fair enough. But this forum requires a different approach.... Best of luck with the info you're after.
