Juan Montes 36 Arce

I received my Juan Montes, mode 36 Arce (2013; orange) just yesterday. I had read the following review from Acordes de Flamenco:

listened to La Sonanta's and a few YouTube videos, and finally ordered it from El Flamenco Vive in Madrid, who were quick to respond to my questions and ship it out.

The 36 Arce is beautiful guitar reminiscent of the popular Sanchis López 1F/2F series. It has a notably strong midrange, and clear and deep basses for a blanca. The action is perfectly low, the ebony fretboard is smooth, and the finish is exceptional. The rosetta, bridge decor, marquetería and head pyrograph are notable too.

I thanked Señor Juan Montes via e-mail for his art and efforts in putting out such a fine product and he was most kind in replying with his thanks for my choice.
