Arcangel Fernandez of Madrid

  • Year:

    Made in 1958 - number 48. In stock. Signed, dated, numbered and stamped internally, including down in the lower sides

  • Body:

    Spanish cypress - with very straight and stable grain on both back and sides.

  • Front:

    European spruce - not particularly narrow-grained and with a clear, replacement golpeador that is larger than the original has been. The rosette is one of those beautiful geometric designs so typical of the top Madrid makers of this period

  • Tuners:

    Machine tuners that may be the originals, with engraved, silver sideplates and possibly ivory buttons.

  • Scale:

    66cm

  • Neck Width:

    51mm at the nut

  • Condition:

    All French polished - and looking very good but with signs of re-polishing or over-polishing. The front has one short, glued tight and single-cleated crack on the upper bout, treble-side and the possibility; very hard to tell, of a crack on the bass side. Really in super condition for a 50-year-old flamenco guitar

  • Comments:

    Arcangel - what can you say? One of the great flamenco makers of all time - and here an example in really fine shape with sounds that are very special and complex. It is very crisp and immediate with a penetrating character. No doubt in the hands of an accomplished flamenco,this guitar will give out real magic. The action and set-up feels just right. So, for performers with rich aunties and uncles or a collector seeking a special flamenco, here is an increasingly rare opportunity to acquire a flamenco guitar from one of Spain's living greats
