This exceptional 80's Reyes Blanca has found a new home, if you are seeking a fine Reyes please call me...

This is a guitar players Reyes! I have a great friend who plays and teaches Flamenco ( his wife is a dancer) and they live in Spain. He has owned many Reyes and understands Reyes guitars as well as I do. Reyes has built me several personal guitars over the years, and I still try to visit him any time I am in Spain. This guitar was acquired by my friend directly from Reyes himself. Reyes examined the guitar and found it to be in perfect condition. He then touched up the polish so that it looks near new. The guitar is very very open and played in, resonant, with great clarity, strong basses and clear precise trebles and very balanced, arpeggios articulate cleanly and clearly for example, a great Reyes Blanca. My friend fell in love with it and it was his personal guitar for some time. Only the delightful news that his wife was going to have a baby could have caused him to decide to sell it. So now he has a beautiful new baby, and he offered me his other 'baby', this Reyes. I originally planned to offer it in the shop, but after a while I became quite attached to it and thought I might keep it for myself, it really is one of 'those' Reyes. Alas, like all guitar players who would love to own every fine guitar we play, I have my limits too. I decided to buy a very fine Classical guitar as I am playing more Classical now than in the past when I was primarily captivated by Flamenco, which I still love. So I must sell this Reyes to fund the Classical I wish to own. We all know that story right? Such is life.

With Reyes himself stating that his guitars from the 80's are among his very favorite, and many people agreeing, 80's Reyes have become sort of the holy grail of Reyes connoisseurs. Rare as they are, I have had some exceptional good fortune and have had the pleasure of offering several of these magnificent Reyes from this decade over the last couple of years. I once went a period of several years without having a single 80's Reyes, so I feel very lucky indeed to have found several of these gems. In fact I recently had another 85 like this one, now sold, so I was happy to find a perfect replacement in another Reyes from that same year. Reyes reports that the guitar is in original condition and had only one owner prior to his obtaining it again, and it is in fantastic condition showing only a few very light marks.The rosette is beautiul and not common, a nice change from the signature, but more common 'X' motif on most of his rosettes.
