This guitar is in exceptional condition and very well kept by it’s one owner, who ordered the guitar directly from the maker. Only the smallest of marks show signs of use and some ware to the frets with plenty of life left in them. This guitar was made as a protype to the Paco Lucia model that followed.

Aesthetically a very pleasing guitar with the bold rosette and chocolate coloured back and sides. As expected from a ‘negra’ the sound is deep and explosive. Must be tried. Listen to similar:
