1978 Banchetti, Paris Concert - Classical Guitar
Here is a wonderful kept Paris Banchetti guitar crafted in 1978 in Miami, FL. Banchetti builds in the Spanish tradition and this Brazilian Rosewood and Cedar guitar is dark, warm and lush. It has not been played much in it's life so the condition is nearly mint, but the wood and finish have dried and aged beautifully giving it a mature and powerful voice. Here's a rare chance at a concert guitar that is over 30 years old but pristine and full of life.
