do you like how this guitar sounds?


I am familiar with two Morales: A. Morales in Granada, Spain and A. Morales in Paracho, Mexico. Neither has the ornate headstock of the instrument you showcased. Is it a third Morales?

Nice sound. Although any review of course is limited to computer's speakers sound reproduction, this guitar -or the video- seemed to emphasize trebles more than basses, tilting the balance and leaving a shallow nearly metallic sound.

This is even more interesting considering that you played rather close to the soundhole, where one would expect a richer, deeper sound. When you finally -in the last few notes- moved closer to the bridge, a snappy-woodsy sound emerged, which I like.

A made in Spain Morales would probably sell for about $5,000... what is this listed for?

Thank you for sharing this.

I guess his workshop is in Palma de Mallorca

gj: There was a Rafael Morales making guitars in Granada up until the 1970's. He also taught and wrote a flamenco tutorial. I bought this one in '71. Do you know if he is related to your Granada A. Morales? Here is a headstock (I have accumulated a huge library of headstock design pics, btw, free for the asking) :
