Julian Espinosa Signature 1989

This beautyfully crafted guitar was handmade by Julian Espinosa (Spain - Zaragoza) in the year 1989.

Little is known about this luthier, yet he appears to have been the only apprentice (besides his sons) of the legendary "Stradivarius of the guitar", Ignatio Fleta. Espinosa apparently sold his guitars to conservatories in Europe, offering excellent quality for an attractive price.

Lovely materials were used: ebony (fretboard), rosewood (bottom and sides), spruce (solid top) and bone (nut). Nut width is 53 mm (2.09 inch), scale length is 25.5" .

This attractive guitar was barely used. The only faults that can be detected are a single group of small scratches, and some imperfections in the lacquer of the neck (original?). Both are highlighted in the pictures.

Comes with the original hard case (key is missing).
