Hard to find Felix Manzanero flamenco blanca built in 1966.

Felix Manzanero is one of the foremost luthiers of classical and flamenco guitars in the Madrid school, and indeed in all of Europe. His classical guitars have won such prestigious prizes as First Place in Acoustics in the Concurso Internacional de Maestros Guitarreros in Tarbes, France in 1989. After working in the Ramirez factory, Felix opened a store at 12 Calle Santa Ana in the La Latina section of Madrid. There he built Madrid-school guitars from old wood and taught his two sons to do the same. He also built experimental instruments such as an elliptical guitar, one without braces, several with soundboards of both cedar and spruce, and a laud with twelve sympathetic strings. He developed a method for testing soundboards before permanently affixing them to the body.

This flamenco is well-balanced and traditional sounding with a amazing tone. On par with all of the other great Spanish luthiers (Ramirez, Gerundino, Reyes, Velazquez, Esteso, Archangel, Conde, Montero, Bellido, etc.)
