Player Reviews:
"This is one expressive instrument. It is loud and exciting with a voice that makes you want to move. I love the traditional orange shellac finish and this one has been well kept. A worldclass Flamenco in every way." - Paul Heumiller
"I love Flamenco guitars made from cypress and spruce. This one is powerful and distinctive with its orange coloring. I just wish I knew more about the music so I could do it justice in the sample. A wonderful guitar." - Al Petteway
