A rare gem for a player or collector. I am the original owner of this guitar, which I bought directly from Manuel Contreras in 1970. Spruce top – cypress back and sides – ebony fingerboard – rosewood headstock veneer – machine tuners – clear golpeadores – 650/52 – signed label. This guitar has never been repaired, refinished, or modified, and remains in its original condition, and in its original case. I performed for twenty years exclusively on this guitar, and it has been played by Mario Escudero, Sabicas, and Vicente Gomez. I have now settled down to teaching flamenco and classical guitar, and I would like to find a good home for this beautiful instrument, made by one of the greatest luthiers of the twentieth century. It has matured over forty years, and now has a voice that no new guitar can ever have.
I am offering it for sale for $6,950, and will give genuine consideration to all offers. Interested parties are invited to see and play this guitar, by appointment, and/or to bring an expert to examine it, or a guitarist to play and assess it. The guitar can be seen in Westchester County, New York, thirty minutes north of Manhattan. Photos are posted below .
