This fine Gerundino found a new home, please feel free to contact me if you are looking for a great Flamenco guitar...

This is an absolutely beautiful Gerundino, made back when we know he was still building every one himself. The photos don't do it justice, and in literally near new condition, it is like a 'new' Gerundino only already played in. I obtained this treat when a very well known luthier referred the owner, his friend, to me, and it is a great Gerundino. The guitar had one crack below the bridge, and one very small one on the edge of the bridge, both so tight that you can barely notice them. The guitar was handled by the great "Yuris" whom we all know an love and how is perhaps the finest repair and French Polish artisan in America. The French polish was re-polished and the guitar looks and feels 'as new' with maybe one or two small stray marks here and there otherwise flawless. The playability of this guitar is excellent, even for someone like myself with small hands. Very light and supple feeling. The guitar is well played in and nicely opened up, with beautiful musical basses and nice present balanced trebles. This is a wonderful Negra, very soulful and emotional and I feel it is very well priced as well.
