2005 German Vazquez Rubio flamenco blanca

From the renowned classical & flamenco guitar builder from Los Angeles, CA. Here is an impressive sounding blanca by German Vazquez Rubio. 650 scale 53mm nut. NO CRACKS whatsoever. Super comfortable neck and nice tension (pulsacìon) on the right hand and LOUD! A true flamenco guitar with that old-world reminiscent of Ramirez guitars of the 60s & 70s. It has a nice European spruce top and equally gorgeous pair of Spanish cypress back and sides. It needs a touch up on the top finish and possibly a new golpeador install but apart from that, this blanca is concert and recording studio ready and a great price considering a new one of the same model goes $7500 in 2026.

Comes with hard case.

From GSI (Guitar Salon International who is a distributor of GVR):

German Vazquez Rubio (also known as G.V. Rubio) is one of the most talented and prestigious luthiers in the world today. 2018 marked his 50th anniversary as a luthier, and in the course of his career, he has developed his own signature sound that guitarists have come to love. 

German immigrated to Los Angeles, California in the early 70’s from his native home Paracho, Michoacan in Mexico. He began working with Bernatdo Rico at B.C. Rich guitars making their acoustic guitars. He quickly made his presence known in Los Angeles and was approached by Art Valdez from Valdez guitars situated on the back-then “Sunset Guitar Row.” While at Valdez, he would make and repair guitars for countless recording artists from all genres of music such as Van Halen, Gene Simmons, John Denver and Benito Palacios. German would always make his own guitars at home to sell to the public, but in the early 90’s, he began selling his guitars full time and hasn’t stopped since. German has a deep understanding of how wood ages and has a very organic, yet unorthodox, approach to selecting materials and construction in general. Having had an opportunity to repair and restore countless high end guitars, he has developed designs that he says should last a lifetime and only improve with age. Most recently German was chosen by Córdoba Guitars and Disney/Pixar to make the real life Coco guitar for the now academy award-winning Pixar film Coco.
