Description from the seller
Second-tier classical guitar, produced in the Madrid workshop. This Felix Manzanero classical guitar, built presumably in the 1980s, combines the craftsmanship of a master Spanish luthier with a very interesting price-performance ratio. Felix Manzanero is one of Madrid's most renowned guitar makers: the years spent in the Ramirez workshop, the recognitions and the long-running research on sound that he has always pursued have made his name known worldwide.
The “de segunda” models originate from the idea of making the tonal and design principles of the master accessible to a wider audience, built according to his ideas, but in a more accessible series.
This exemplar dates back to the eighties. It is not possible to date it precisely because the label does not report the year. It offers exactly what many players appreciate in Manzanero instruments: deep and well-defined basses, bright and singable highs, and a mystical midrange that gives warmth and presence to the sound. The combination of a spruce top and rosewood back and sides yields a harmoniously balanced sound, with good projection and a nuanced tone that, in short, embodies the classic character you expect, but at a price range that is much, much more affordable.
The 650 mm scale length and the 52 mm nut width offer classic proportions, and playability is very good. The guitar has a straight neck and a pleasantly low string action, further adjustable given the height of the bone at the saddle.
The instrument is in good condition, but shows honest signs of use and wear. The guitar has been professionally setup and is fully ready to use. It is supplied with a practical travel bag and shipped with pro packaging.
