Tom Blackshear -> RE: new build for a 1987 Reyes style flamenco (Jul. 31 2018 14:37:16)

Hello, Just got notice that one of my previous Miguel Rodriguez models is for sale at Richard Brune's shop. Heck of a price if its still available. 1997 Tom Blackshear No. 249, (USA) 650 mm scale, 52 mm nut spaced at 44 mm 1st to 6th on center, cedar top, Indian rosewood sides and back, original French polish of shellac which has been padded over in the Bruné shop recently. Machines are a set of Schaller Hauser style gold plated which replace the original unknown set. This is a Miguel Rodriguez inspired model, which in our opinion represents the finest of Tom Blackshear’s work. He really understands the essence of these very Spanish sounding Rodriguez models and makes copies which in our opinion are usually superior to the originals, both in technical execution and musical performance. If you are looking for a well played opened up very Spanish sounding instrument with an easy to play 650 mm scale, look no further, this is your instrument. No cracks, no repairs, frets are nearly new, finish looks great, and the price is less than half the cost of a new Blackshear, assuming you could get one. $6500 http://www.rebrune.com/1997-blackshear-no-249/
