Manuel Perez Paez 2008 - extremely impressive guitar - great ornamentation and excellent sound! Manuel Perez Paez was born in Motril (Granada) in 1925. He began making guitars in the 1950s and studied with various guitar makers in Granada. In the 60’s and 70’s he devoted himself to other projects together with his brother and the Paez brothers became famous for a specially developed car brake, for which they also received various awards in the 70’s. He later devoted himself entirely to building guitars again and was also very innovative in this area, always looking to optimize the sound of his instruments. Especially in the last years of his life, Manuel Perez Paez built guitars that he spent an enormous amount of time decorating. His guitars were played by some well-known musicians. Manuel Perez Paez died in 2013. This guitar from 2010 is one of these incredibly ornate instruments. It's hard to imagine how many hours were spent putting the wooden parts together in mosaic style. The top of this guitar is made of spruce, with strips of cedar. The sides are made of cypress. The artfully designed back is made of different colored rosewood and cypress parts. The scale length is 650 mm and the nut width is 54 mm. The neck profile is quite strong and is well suited to guitarists with large fingers. The guitar is heavier than many other Spanish guitars. The body is very large and the guitar immediately impresses with its massive sound and extremely large volume. The sound is powerful and fills any room. However, the quality of the sound does not suffer from the high volume. The tones are detailed and shine in the most beautiful timbres. The guitar is in used condition and is in good condition. It has been well adjusted by us and plays wonderfully with a low string action. Anyone looking for a guitar with an exceptional look and sound should seriously consider this great guitar.
