Rare! Vintage 1975 Casa Ricardo, Guitarra tipo Valencia(Spanish style of Valencia) handmade in Mexico City. Purchased from the workshop in 1975 and owned by a single player for over 50 years! Comes with the original certificate of authenticity and warranty paper, listing the builder or representative's name as Mario Calderon, 18 February 1975. Comes in the original case. This guitar is all acoustic, no electronics, and no truss rod either. This guitar and another Casa Ricardo guitar I have listed on my store were both purchased on the same day in 1975 and owned by the same lifelong player. This one seems to have mahogany back and sides, as well as an extra 20th fret. Minor dings and scratches, no structural cracks or repairs necessary. The varnish has cracked around the neck joints, not the wood. Plays well and sounds great!
