Blondie#2 -> Anders Elliasson Blanca £1395 (Oct. 4 2013 10:54:11)

Reluctant sale - A lovely blanca made for me by Anders in 2006. Traditional build - cypress back and sides, spruce top. Muy flamenco sound, very responsive, punchy midrange with a gutsy tone. Apart from a string ding behind the bridge by the 1st string, and a minor blemish on the lower bout, both of which I have tried to photograph clearly, the guitar is in great condition with light handling wear. No cracks or repairs. Used for dance classes for a while, but not gigged and mostly played at home. Perfect action/ set-up, its a hair under 3mm at 12th fret/6th string. Spec. Cypress back and sides, spruce top Ebony fingerboard string spacing at bridge=56mm/60mm (the latter is a slotted saddle* I had made to widen the spacing, both will be included) Scale length =650mm spacing at nut=43mm Fretboard width at nut=51mm 12 hole tie block French Polish finish Gotoh tuners (see pic at bottom, I upgraded these recently, but the original white ones in the pics can be swapped back if you prefer). Comes in original hard case (Canadian I think) that Anders provided, though I could ship in a Hiscox case if preferred. Anders is of course a long standing contributor to this forum, but for anyone new to the forum who is unaware of his work, check out Anders website for more info on his guitars and approach to building: http://www.eliassonguitars.com/flamenco.html £1395 + shipping. PM me for any more info. Can be seen/tried in Devon, UK. [*so some of the discussion below is irrelevant]
