Puerto Rican Cuatro /Cuatro Puertorriqueño Built by Don Jaime Alicea

This is a genuine Puerto Rican cuatro built by the world famous builder Don Jaime Alicea. I say world famous because his Cuatro's can be found all over the world by top Cuatro players. His work is also honored in museums. As Don Jaime gets older, he is not building many cuatros. This may very well be one of the last that he builds. They are sure to be collectors items.

This Cuatro has unique and distinctive tones that can only be found in a handmade instruments The tone is very authentic and 3 dimensional. Unlike factory manufactured instruments, this Cuatro has the look and feel of a handmade instrument. If you want a perfect "plastic" looking instrument, then this one may not be what you are looking for. If on the other hand you want a world-class handmade authentic sounding Puerto Rican Cuatro, then you will be very happy with this instrument!

In addition to this world class Cuatro, you will also get a hardshell case and 3 sets of D'addario J96 strings.
