This stunning Reyes Blanca has found a new home. This is probably the last new Reyes I will have the pleasure of having in the shop as Sr. Reyes is slowing down, and his list is very long. What a pleasure it has been seeing his beautiful new guitars come through the shop over the years, including the 6 he was kind enough to build for my personal use, all but one of which eventually ended up with some very happy clients of mine over time. I still keep one as my own personal Flamenco, my favorite one ever. Thanks Sr. Reyes!!! I think of you every time I play her :-)

Those of you who have acquired guitars from me know that when I say ‘this is one of the best….” that I mean exactly that. I turn down a lot of guitars, even some Reyes guitars, because they are not among ‘the best of the best’ in my opinion, and that is what my clients expect from me. So now I am going to make a statement that some might snicker at, but which those of you who have worked with me over the years will know is absolutely true: This is hands down the best Reyes Blanca I have had in this shop, or ever heard, and this comes from personally owning many Reyes guitars, having many many come through the shop over the past 15 years, and hearing many played by some amazing artists.

This is “THE” Reyes every Reyes lover dreams of. You know when you listen to Vicente and you think “ Man that is the most awesome Reyes I have ever heard”, this is that guitar. No exaggeration. Just fact. I have had other amazing Reyes guitars come close to the title of ‘best Reyes ever’ but now I think that title will permanently belong to this guitar. She already sings and I suspect the sky is the limit as to what she’ll sound like after a year or two of playing. Most Reyes Blanca’s have those famous incisive trebles, but some are so dang punchy they lose a bit of their musicality, not this one. The Maestro seems to have put his heart and soul into this lady and everything came together flawlessly, including a beautiful and very musical voice with gorgeous sustain, but yet so capable of that driving biting attack that the great Reyes guitars possess. Why go on, I’ll just use one word that says it all: Perfect.
