IM HAVING A HARD TIME USING THIS SITE , VERY DIFICULT , ANY WAY , ITS ALHAMBRA LABEL , NO YEAR , NO SIGNATURE , GRANADA LABEL , PLEASE WRITE TO MY EMAIL SO I CAN SEND PICTURES . mikerivero@att.net . THAKS
i found some labes are signed , are unsigned labels of lesser quality , i have not seen a lower end instrument by de la chica , in my search so far , any comments will be welcome . thanks
There are some cracks , yes im consulting with a luthier this week about repairing that and some other issues , i was able to read the year on the Label , its 1957. Any way i will like to know what ever info i can get possible value, more about the luthier etc.
cubanmike, it would have been helpful to mention the bridge was unattached and you put it on to show us your find. good luck with the guitar and the repairs.
HEY, CUBANMIke. That's better. I hope you have a gem. There are people hereabouts with the knowledge you crave. Why not offer a percentage to them?
Ramzi, how about a soundclip of the campfire burning when Mike gives the old nag a decent burial?
I hope your luthier charges you up the wazoo. Cause he's the builder.
Well-spotted on the bridge.
Flamenco is weird. There are phenomenal musicians who can't get a hearing but we find the guitar market flooded with fakes and planks that sell for plenty. Do you show the buyer those pics?
If you are meeting with a luthier soon, why not ask him/her if it is an authentic guitar? Or, perhaps the luthier could advise you where to go for an appraisal/restoration. You may have to spend some money to find out. I'd like to suggest that you consider how you can contribute to our forum rather than asking us to do you a favor.
Dionisio , i haven't asked you for the fricking time of the day. I already know exactly what i have , and the information has not come from this place .I have never run into so many sarcastic dicks in such a short period of time.
LOL Are we really that bad?? Sure, not every comment was a wealth of info but from what I see a good chunk of people where actually helping. You can't really expect hundreds of random people from all over the world to ALL be helpful and polite?? To top it off, we're guitar players...............notoriously self absorbed and a-holey....
