It's one of his student models made for him by another firm.

Arash -> RE: Felix Manzanero?!?!?! (Mar. 3 2008 2:49:14)
how much is it worth?

RobJe -> RE: Felix Manzanero?!?!?! (Mar. 3 2008 4:10:05)
Tom is right. Note the scale length is only 644mm so you might struggle in some stiuations with it. My guess is that it was bought in in the 1960s and the shop label stuck on. Value 0-150 euros depending on how well it plays. It is difficult to tell, but I suspect from the repaired crack in the face that it is made of solid timbers. If so, and if it has a straight neck and good intonation, it might be a lot more fun to play than some cheap modern factory guitars. One further thought, looking at the the label, is that the guitar was not new when the label was stuck on. This was not uncommon. I have a 1960 (according to label) guitar with similar dimensions that had almost certainly been repaired and refinished before it was sold as new. Why did I buy it? Fabulous sound! It is out on loan these days and much admired. Rob

I can't say for sure without seeing it how much it's worth but it's not worth much.

This looks highly suspect! Look at the lablel closely and all the different woods. COME ON!!!!![:'(][:'(][:'(]

Felix opened his new shop in 1964 on calle Santa Anna #12 and this is probably one of his student guitars made by another company. His first class flamenco guitars sold for $200 to tourists, 125 to professionals, then and this would have been worth about 30 dollars or less at the time. First class Conde guitars were selling for about $250 from Faustino at the time.

He he....forgot to mention in this thread that i bought this guitar just for fun and to be surprised![:D] I mean, first i didnt know anything about it and thought it was just a fake...then i was informed that it is an old student guitar from Manzaneros Shop......and then i though to myself, lets bid max. 200 Euros and see what happens.....178,00 Euros is not much for a old Flamenco guitar with solid woods (be it a student guitar with repaired cracks or even a fake!). The cheapest new noname factory guitars (with laminated woods) start from 250,00 Euros nowadays... And i was sure that i can sell it again for the same price if i wouldnt have liked it. But....the Sound is GREAT!!! [:)] much better than the Yamahas or some other cheap guitars that i have played....sound is muy flamenco and very "blanca"....i will keep it!.....And it is very easy to play because of the smaller size.....i dont need a Capo on first fret anymore like my Sanchis Lopez with 660mm....[:D]...... Neck is straight...the only problem ist the quality of the fretboard .... I already have some kind of notch on second and third fret under the bass strings after puting a capo on it.....dont know what to do against it.... I will make some audio soon and maybe some Pics... All in all i am very happy with this buy [:)]

Hey Arash, When it's all said and done, it doesn't matter who's name is on the label or who made it and where it was made or even how much it costs. What matters is that you enjoy playing it. Sound like this was a good find.

Dont agree in this case [:D]...i wouldnt have paid more than 200 Euros for this guitar (too risky for an internet buy for such a guitar) quote: What matters is that you enjoy playing it. Sound like this was a good find. Yes, gladly it was (for this price!). forgot to mention that it had no golpeador. So i bought a transparent golpeador for it and will put it on when changing the strings next time.
