I'm looking for a Gerundino

I'm looking for a 70's or 80's Gerundino. Must be in good condition. If you know of one for sale, I'd be keen to hear.
Thanks

Hola Jim,

Mundo-Flamenco has two 1975 Gerundinos for sale. One with Cypress and one with Rosewood.
I think the price was 7500 Euros each.

Dont know details. You can contact them and ask.

Hi
I have found this website: http://www.cw-wines.co.uk/flamenco.htm
I sent an email to ask if the guitars listed were current - which the reply said they were (although I didn't specifically as about the Gerundinos). If you scroll down the page, there are two listed with pictures, a '64 and '88, hope this helps.
I am looking for a Pedro Maldonado blanca if you know of anyone who is selling (I noticed you had one for sale around this time last year).
Kind regards
Paul

Hi eccullen,

Thanks for your suggestion but I checked them out a few weeks ago.

Hi Jim,

I am not sure if you had a chance to play the one at GSI but I played it. Excellent Gerundino....very much like Paco Pena's sound...strong lyrical trables. My only concern was its condition with 2 cracks (one on the side and one in the back as mentioned in their description) but they were well repaired and stable.

I thought I should let you know that I played it and it was man......good guitar. If it wasn't for the new additions in my guitar collection, I would have bought this one.

RE: I'm looking for a Gerundino (in reply to tk)

Thanks for your advice, no I haven't played it and it's great to get comment from someone who has. I've been in contact with GSI and they sourced it for me but I was put off by the cracks. The other thing was that Chris Kamen also had it on his web site at the same time as GSI. Also, GSI had it about 9 months ago for sale so it has moved around a bit. It also has a label signed by PdL that's been on then off then back on again. Strange.
