<SOLD> 2008 Castillo Blanca

As you probably know, I only picked this one up from Michael very recently. Unfortunately I just got hit with a dental expense for my daughter that is FAR beyond what I was expecting, so I figured there might be some interest here in it.

2008 Blanca
European Spruce Top
Spanish Cypress sides and back
660mm (with a very comfortable neck profile - I'd have never guessed it was a 660)
Hard shell case

---

This guitar has been played, and shows the typical signs of it (finish worn in spots, nail marks and minor scratches in the polish). There are no structural issues or cracks or the like, but there is what I would call typical playing wear throughout.

I paid $1500 plus shipping, and I'd like to get the same amount for it.

I may change my mind and decide not to sell it, but for now I'll leave it here. I could use the money more at this point.

Quick audio clip from Tascam handheld recorder:

Mini-sample

Thanks for looking - please let me know if you have any questions...

What happened to the photos? I directed someone to this thread.

EDIT: Sorry. It just took a long while to load.

Thanks for having someone check it out.

It's still here at the moment. I'm hoping it ends up in appreciative hands (though I'll still sell it even if it's not appreciated).

Wel, I am both happy and sad to report that it's officially sold now.

Thanks for all the interest and kind words.

Congrats Mitch! I suppose congratulations are in order though I imagine it was difficult to part with.

I was really tempted. In the end, I determined that I might be better served by a negra since I'm hoping to have only one guitar for both classical and (solo) flamenco. I'll have to wait for the right one to come along.
