The Gerundino Fernandez 1995 flamenco guitar is not only outstanding in sound, but also a real stage guitar.

Gerundino Fernández (1931-2006) is one of the greatest flamenco guitar makers of the 20th century. Alongside names such as Arcángel Fernández, Manuel Reyes and Francisco Barba, he played a decisive role in shaping the modern flamenco sound. His guitars have been played by artists such as Paco Peña, Tomatito and even Eric Clapton - and the Gerundino Fernandez 1995 flamenco guitar also has this unmistakable sound.

The sound of the Gerundino Fernandez 1995 flamenco guitar is an impressive blend of directness, power and character. The response is extremely fast and immediate, the tone clear and focused, with a slightly dark, „Andalusian“ coloration. This special timbre reflects the origin of its maker - Almería, the home of Antonio de Torres and a center of Spanish guitar making.

The combination of cedar top and cypress back and sides gives the Gerundino Fernandez 1995 Flamenco guitar an exceptional balance of warmth and percussive precision. The basses are dry, powerful and rhythmically incisive, while the trebles are clear and brilliant. The sound has that raw, woody character that is so appreciated in flamenco - direct, honest and full of expression.

Thanks to its extremely light construction, the Gerundino Fernandez 1995 Flamenco guitar develops an enormous volume with minimal effort. The attack is explosive, the sound big and open - very close to the famous sound of Paco Peña, who also played Gerundino guitars. At the same time, the instrument remains sensitive enough to play fine, lyrical passages with great expressiveness.

The Gerundino Fernandez 1995 flamenco guitar also impresses at the highest level. With a scale length of 660 mm and a nut width of 54 mm, it offers an authentic flamenco feel. The low string action (2.8 mm on the low E-string and 2.3 mm on the high E-string at the 12th fret) enables fast, precise and effortless playing - ideal for demanding techniques such as rasgueado or picado.

The Gerundino Fernandez 1995 flamenco guitar is in good condition, with some signs of use and wear. In addition, a few cracks have been professionally repaired and do not affect the stability or sound of this instrument. Rather, they are evidence of a life on stage - exactly where a guitar like this belongs.
