Stephen Hill - La Herradura, Spain

• Year:

  2007 - no. 143. Manuel Reyes copy.

• Body:

  Spanish cypress - with straight-grained sides and a back with unusally strong and almost luminous grain lines. Back centre strip and matching purflings in snakewood.

• Front:

  European spruce - another close-grained, silky top with attractive rosette, nearly black rosewood bridge with bone framing to the tie-block. Clear tap-plate / golpeador.

• Tuners:

  Nicolo Alessi with Hauser-shaped sideplates and snakewood buttons.

• Scale:

  655mm. 19 frets

• Neck Width:

  53 mm at the nut

• Weight:

  1439 grams

• Condition:

  All shellac french-polished. In virtually unplayed original condition. Just some really tiny marks here and there. The golpeador shows no sign of having been touched by nails.

• Comments:

  From a collection of Stephen Hill guitars, this is a specially-commissioned guitar closely in the style of Manuel Reyes .... note the head shape for example.
  It has a strong, crisp, clear sound - yet needs comments of a good flamenco player to say more - which we will try and have soon.
  Certainly a fine and handsome flamenco guitar that has hardly been played hence in lovely condition
