Francisco Navarro Concert Classical, 2001

2001 Francisco Navarro Concert Classical with solid cedar top and solid palo escrito rosewood back and sides. Ebony fretboard and bone nut and saddle, with 51mm nut width and 640mm scale length. The cedar has aged wonderfully and has become very dark over the years, and it has a very warm tone. Built and signed by Francisco Navarro (sr., not his son Marlon Navarro).

A previous owner added a clear plastic golpeador (scratchplate) and a flatter, lower saddle for more flamenco-style playability. This gives it super low action which, combined with the neck specs, make this guitar extremely easy to play a variety of styles on. For classical guitar, I would put taller, more angled saddle on (I can do this if you'd like).

In the last pictures, you can see the guitar's imperfections. Most notably, there was a small crack that was professionally repaired and lacquered over on the lower bout of the top of the guitar. There are also fingernail scratches under the strings near the bridge. Some other scuffs and scratches are visible, such as on the upper bout of the soundboard above the golpeador. There is also a scuff on the backside upper bout to the right, and minor scuffs at the top of the headstock. Aside from the one repaired crack, the other damage is cosmetic, only affecting the finish/surface of the guitar and the sound has not been impacted.

It pains me to sell the best classical guitar I've owned, but I'm focusing on pedal steel and electric guitar at the moment and could use the money towards gear that I will use on stage more than this. Please let me know if you'd like more photos or a video, or if you want to check it out in person. I have a couple cases available for you to pick from (including the nice cushioned protective carrying case it came with, or another hardshell case).
