2004 Shelton Farretta Double Body Fl...

I just got in an 04' Shelton Farretta Double body blanca. John Shelton's guitars are very easy to play. Among the best in playability that I've ever come across. Just my honest opinion. Not plugging his work. It speaks for itself. $3400. A new one is $4400 if his prices are still current. This one is near mint. I believe the inside of his current double bodies are East Indian rosewood but if I am not mistaken, the inner back of this one appears to be Brazilian rosewood. More info can be found on my site. www.lafalseta.com

Seems like a lot of flamenco guitar players intentionally squeeze the guitar's body against themselves.. I guess this guitar defeats that purpose

so this is an negra in a blanca body.. seems perfect.
This is a really good buy, a top model for about 60% of the price.

To my ears it sounds more blanca but with more tonal range. It's pretty versatile because you can change to tone based on how you play and attack the strings. It's a very nice instrument.
