Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Good

It's almost unbelievable that this featherweight Flamenco "Blanca" by Marcelo Barbero (hijo), son of Arcangel Fernandez's master and mentor, has come all this way from Madrid back in '66 to us here today.  These are about as rare as it gets.  And for good reason!  The dramatic, passionate, percussive Flamenco style requires a lightly built, lightning fast reponsive instrument that bears just as much similarity to a drum as it does a stringed instrument.  And this guitar is that instrument.  From lightning fast, cascading melody lines to spirited rasgueado, this Arcángel Fernández will render both player and audience breathless.

*Our luthier performed a fretwork, and several crack repairs to bring this instrument to 100% stability and functionality.
