Juan Hernández / Bautista Iranzo – Preludio – Solid [Cedar/Spruce] top, Ziricote – Classical guitar – Spain – 2014

Description:

Spanish classical guitar by Bautista Iranzo, Preludio model, made in 2014 in the workshop of Guitarras Juan Hernández, Valencia. Juan Hernández is one of the most respected names in Valencian guitar making, and the Bautista Iranzo line is handcrafted there with high-quality tonewoods. This model is highly regarded for its distinctive appearance and rich, responsive tonal projection.

Specifications:

• Top: Solid [Cedar – warm, deep resonance / Spruce – bright, focused projection]
• Back & sides: Ziricote, an exotic wood known for its striking, highly figured grain and dark, complex tone
• Neck: [Mahogany / Cedar]
• Fingerboard: Ebony
• Scale length: 650 mm

Condition: very good. There is a single really small mark on the base clearly shown in the photos, which affects neither the sound nor the playability. There are no cracks, repairs or structural issues. The neck is straight, the action is comfortable and the frets are in good condition.

Sound: after more than a decade of playing, the solid top has matured beautifully, giving a richer, more open tone than a new instrument. It's an excellent choice for intermediate and advanced students, or for any player looking for an authentic handmade Spanish guitar with exotic tonewoods at a fair price.

Included:

• Freshly changed strings
• Soft gig bag

Shipping: the guitar will be packed with great care: strings slightly loosened, headstock and body protected, and a rigid guitar box with padding. Shipping is fully insured and tracked.
