Stephen Hill - La Herradura, Spain

• Year:

  2006 - no. 128. Based on Juan Martin's 1972 David Rubio flamenco guitar.

• Body:

  Rio rosewood of some quality - mainly quarter-sawn with strong, close grainlines and beautiful colouring.

• Front:

  European spruce - a superb quality top with stacks of medullary rays showing it to be well-quarter-sawn. With Stephen's regular rosette, a dark and elegant rosewood bridge with mother-of-pearl framing to the tie-block.

• Tuners:

  Ebony pegs on a David Rubio shaped head.

• Scale:

  66cm

• Neck Width:

  53 mm at the nut

• Weight:

  1514 grams

• Condition:

  All shellac french-polished.
  In hardly-played condition - you have to look hard to find a few tiny marks on the front; some very shallow, small nail marks on the back of the neck. The beautiful back and sides are as new.

• Comments:

  Another from a collection of specially-commissioned Stephen Hill guitars, this flamenco negra is a good copy of a 1972 David Rubio owned by Juan Martin. It turns out to be a very fine and potent guitar - with an immediately impressive, open strong sound.
