This is a signed, dated and numbered All Solid Flamenca Blanca with pegs.
it's a used guitar,(in like new condition),so i don't know how much it was originally.
It's a 2007 #288 Spruce top with what looks like to me Alaskan Yellow cedar b and sides.
i am friends with many luthiers who make Top Notch guitars and have played just about every historical flamenco guitar in Richard Brune's shop not to mention my family and i have owned many flamenco guitars over the past 50 or so years.
I can tell you this from personal experience that this particular guitar has all the build qualities of every historical flamenco guitar i've played and reminds me a lot of my Dads old Manuel de la Chica.
With the exception of the 2 Manuel de la Chica blancas and Brune's own "La Chunga" blanca i've played........this one is by far one of my favorites.
The pegs are smooth as butter.
The bridge is very low profiled.
The neck angle is perfect.
The action is low, but clear tones and gets raspy when pushed hard.
The finish is thin and applied very nice.
The top is tight grained and littered with buttery medullary<sp?) rays.
The guitar is extremely light!
For what i paid for it, just a plain steal!!!!!
i have owned many top of the line Ramirez, Conde, and various others.[:)]
i hope this a better more complete review.
Sorry if i didn't understand before. i'm new here.
I just can't believe i've never heard of this guy before.
Thanks for the input guys.
Cheers!
