2021 Pepe Romero Jr Guilele #336
The ultimate travel guitar. These handmade Pepe Romero Jr guilele mini guitars rarely come up for sale.
19” baritone mini flamenco guitar, handmade by Pepe the man himself at his San Diego shop. Cypress back and sides with German moon spruce top. Has Pepe's proprietary bracing system to enhance projection. The tone and volume out of this tiny box is astonishing.
If you are familiar with Pepe’s classical/flamenco guitars, they cost $15,000+ with a long waiting list. His ukuleles are highly regarded – check out the Ukulele Underground forum. His Romero Creations guilele’s cost $1200-1300 and made in Asia.
The moment I heard the demo of this guilele, I knew I had to have it. Check out the video from the guys at the Ukulele Site/Hawaiian Music Supply. This guitar is featured for the first 34 minutes. Listen to how it sounds in Corey’s (very capable) hands and the reverence these guys have for Pepe and this specific example. It is truly special.
I’ll probably regret selling this one of a kind, amazing instrument, but I don’t play it much and can’t justify keeping it in it’s case all the time.
Excellent condition. Never left the house in 3 years. There’s one small ding on the top, visible only when light reflects on that spot See pics. 3 sets of Pepe Romero guilele strings are included.
I'm the original owner, purchased from The Ukulele Site/HMS in 2021. Original plush lined hard shell case. Thanks for looking.
