2004 Maldonado F1 Flamenco, Cypress/Spruce
This is a special and rare treat for all you Flamencophiles out there. We’ve landed a 2004 F1 Flamenco Cutaway (!) from none other than Granada’s Pedro Maldonado. Maldonado’s guitars are highly sought after and treasured for their quickness, power, and precision, and this F1 Cutaway is a fine example. Spruce over Cypress with a cutaway for easy access, and a 650mm scale for added warmth that pairs sweetly with the Cypress dry attack. This beauty has been played in properly and is wide awake, carrying with it the typical play wear from the Flamenco repertoire and weighing in at a featherweight 3lbs 3oz.
Maldonodos have been the choice of professionals for years, including Pepe Romero, Manuel Cano, Vícente Amigo, Diego Vargas, Strunz and Farah, Sergio Lara.

Pedro Maldonado was born in Loja (Granada) in 1929 in Las Parras Street.
His father was a furniture maker and Pedro junior began helping his father
in the carpentry shop when he was a teenager.
Very soon Pedro Maldonado junior had interest in guitar building and other
instruments. He dreamed to make these fantastic instruments with his own
hands. His father took him to Granada in order to develop this art with
the help of some guitar makers from the famous “Escuela Granadina”. They
met Manuel de la Chica, Eduardo Ferrer an Antonio Robles, all of them
famous guitar builders in this Arabian city. They showed to the young
Pedro the mysteries of this art and they developed a great relationship.
Pedro was in love with the flamenco guitar sound and started playing it
with great pleasure. Sometimes “Radio Loja” contacted him to accompany the
flamenco singers of the area.
It was in 1959 when Pedro Maldonado decided to open his first workshop in
“Calle Caus, 16” where he started making his first guitars.
