Beschreibung
Til auktion kommer en mesterlig, håndlavet klassisk koncertguitar af den anerkendte spanske luthier Pedro Maldonado (Senior) fra år 1978. Modellen 1A repræsenterer den absolutte topklasse (Primera Clase) af hans værkfall.

Pedro Maldonado, født 1929 i Loja (Granada), anses som en af de mest anerkendte mestre inden for andalusisk guitarmagerkunst. Hans instrumenter fra 1970’erne er hos samlere og professionelle spillere verden over kendt for deres dybe, varme og typisk spanske karakter samt deres fremragende sustain og lette spilbarhed.
