Strings: D'Addario EJ45 NT, original nut, new saddle, string ties, Rubner tuners.

Original listing: 

The condition is very good apart from the countless traces of use ... there is only one very stable and old crack repair. Otherwise the guitar is in top condition. Especially in terms of playability, it impresses with a flat string action, a straight neck and very playable frets. 

Julian Espinosa 1971 - this classic guitar is a dream for vintage guitar lovers. It has the character of those guitars that you don't want to put down again because they just sound so good and have a lively and lively character.
We can only recommend this guitar, it is an incredibly good instrument.

Julian Espinosa is a guitar maker from Zaragoza. He learned from none other than Ignacio Fleta. He worked for Fleta in Barcelona for several years before becoming self-employed and opening his own workshop in Zaragoza.
His guitars were sold at conservatories all over Europe, as they are of excellent quality and yet affordable in price.
Not much information can be found about Julian Espinosa, as he apparently died young and his guitars are very rare.

This wonderful guitar is finely handcrafted in 1971 by Espinosa in the style of an Ignacio Fleta guitar.
The body is made of beautiful rosewood and the top of fine spruce. The bracing is designed in the typical Fleta style with 9-frets. The scale length of 664 mm and the nut width of 52 mm, as well as the somewhat thicker neck, correspond exactly to the guitars made by Fleta and the general conception of the time.

The sound of the guitar is an absolute delight ... there are guitars like this where you immediately feel an inner connection and quickly take them to your heart. This is exactly the case with this guitar.
The sound is very touching and this guitar evokes deep emotions. The basses are round and precise, with a very special and enchanting quality. The singing and crystalline trebles offer a fantastic palette of timbres. 
You can tell from the exterior that this guitar has been played and loved for countless hours over the years.
Some may be put off by the external condition - but experienced players know the quality that lies within such characterful guitars.
