| Valeriano Bernal: Cadiz - Spain Flamenco Negra Guitar, dated 1999 |
Valeriano Bernal 1999 Hand made in southern Spain by Valeriano Bernal. I purchased this guitar from the maker himself in 1999 at his workshop in Cadiz, Spain. It was his top of the line guitar at that time. The back and sides are made from Brazilian rosewood, the top is German spruce, I believe the fretboard is ebony. The piece is signed, numbered and dated. I still have the original receipt. Comes with the maker's standard hard shell case.

| Oskar Graf: Ontario - Canada Custom Steel String Guitar with Wide Neck, dated 1994 |
Rare custom made hybrid classical steel string guitar with cutaway, bearing the original label and singnature: Oskar Graf Luthier, 9/1994, Clarendon, Ontario, Canada. The neck is made for a classical guitar player 4.8 cm (1 7/8 inches) at the nut, but also radiused like a jazz guitar. There are 2 nuts, # 1 at 3.7 cm (1 7/16 inches) string spacing and # 2 at 3.9 cm (1 8/16 inches). The scale is 65 cm ( 25 9/16 inches). Perfect straight neck with trussrod and ebony bound fingerboard which is fitted with jumbo frets that show some wear, but no fret notching. The Brazilian rosewood for the back and sides are of the highest grade and came from an old stack in London. The back has 3 tiny hairline cracks at the bottom (closed and firm), which where there when we chose the set, and where treated by Oskar before building the guitar. The tight grain cedar top shows some light playing wear and the outline of a guitar top protector which was on it for some time, but has been removed. Now the most important point, the sound. very loud, on the dark side, lots of midrange, endless sustain, unreal sonority, it actually sings like a bird. Every string is the same including the G and all the way up to the very end of the fingerboard. The action is set at 2 and 3 mm, and that is as low as can be, not because of the neck or the saddle (4mm left in the middle), but because the strings vibrate so much, that it would buzz if lowered. The neck is so comfortable, that I am even able to play Villa Lobos' Chorus no 5 with this steel string guitar without difficulties. The original hardcase is included. Measurements: - total length 98 cm - scale 65 cm - body length 49 cm - upper bout 29 cm - middle bout 23 cm - lower bout 37 cm - lowest rim 9.2 cm - highest rim 10.4 cm - nut 4.8 cm For Sale Now |

| Marcelino Lopez: Madrid - Spain Spanish Classical Guitar dated 2007 |
This rare model called Hernandez y Aguado by Marcelino Lopez bears the original signed label: Marcelino Lopez, Luthier, No 953, Ano 2007, Madrid. Also stamped below the heel H A. Cedar top with very light playing wear, Indian Rosewood back and sides, good straight mahogany neck with ebony fingerboard and good brass frets, carved Hernandez y Aguado head. The sound of an old time Spanish guitar but very loud and good midrange and unusual soft tone for such a powerfull guitar. The action is a little bit low for a guitar with that volume (3mm/4mm). A professional player with strong hands will need a higher saddle. Original hardcase included. According to Lopez himself, he was asked by Hernandez in 1971 to build a guitar for him, who was very pleased with it and ordered more and more. After some time Hernandez asked Lopez to build an exact copy of his own guitar (the original Hernandez y Aguado guitar) which is what he did after quite some time of examining this guitar. Hernandez was extremely pleased with it. From 1971 until Hernandez died, Lopez built 30 guitars for him. This guitar is a copy of that Hernandez y Aguado model Marcelino Lopez built for Hernandez, therefore the stamp inside: H A. They are built to order with a price tag of over 8000 Euros. Measurements: - total length 99 cm - scale 65 cm - body length 48.5 cm - upper bout 27.3 cm - middle bout 23.7 cm - lower bout 36.3 cm - lowest rim 9 cm - highest rim 9.5 cm - nut 5.3 cm |
