Benito Huipe Guitars

I have two guitars both by Benito Huipe { Mexican guitar maker } , they Are both dated 1992 , they are twin guitars and very unusual as the back and sides of both of them are made of Aromatic Cedar , both have spruce tops , one is a peg head and one has machines . The varnish on the machine headed one is a bit rough so the guitar does not look much but it has an action that is the lowest that I have ever seen but it still plays very cleanly with no buzzing at all . Both guitars are very loud and very Flamenco in their sound . Benito's guitars are becoming very sort after and I think that these are two of the best that he has ever made , I am willing to sell them as a pair for £ 3000 , the price is non negotiable .

Some of those Huipes are very good, if I had the cash I would pick them up. I would suggest looking into this for anyone who is looking for a decent guitar..
