Antigua Casa Nunez (Argentina) Model A-1 "Medio Concierto"

An uncommon find, an Antigua Casa Nunez Model A-1 "Medio Concierto" in good condition. Antigua Casa Nunez has a long history of guitar making in Argentina going back to the 1800's. In 1858, a Spanish immigrant named Francisco Nuñez, arrived in Argentina and settled in Buenos Aires. In 1870, he conceived the formation of the House, then called Francisco Nuñez y Cia Guitar Factory. The Antigua Casa Nuñez Guitars was played by great classical guitarists in all the world, included A. Segovia.

Although not one of their top-of-the-line Concierto's (those would have the hand-carved headstock), this Model A-1 Medio Concierto is, over-all, very solid with expected wear and tear from use. In my opinion, Antigua Casa Nunez tend to be a "punchier" guitar with more attack and volume. Please see photos for condition. Feel free to ask questions.

Some of the details about this one include:

• 52mm nut
• 25 1/2" string-length (642mm)
• approx. 33" long x 14" wide (lower bout) and 4" deep body
• approx. 3.5mm action at the 12th fret on the 6th string (low E)

Some blemishes I have found are:

• the obvious strum wear below the strings/sound-hole,
• slight bow to the neck, starting around the 7th or 8th fret. Despite this it still has a comfortable classical 3.5mm action on the Low E string at the 12th fret.
• A small section of binding that has cracked and slightly pulled away on the bottom by the tail block,
• someone carver numbers into the back of the head stock,
• general expected wear throughout from use.

Feel free to ask questions.
