Flamenco Concert Guitar Ayamonte Model "La Canastera" - "The Basket Maker"

I am proud to present a masterpiece, the pinnacle of my luthiery. This Flamenco Concert Guitar boasts a double top of Canadian cedar and German spruce, ingeniously combined with a wooden "Lattice-Braced" grid, adhering to the timeless traditions of Spanish guitar making while employing the finest materials available. From the initial conception to the final tuning, every detail has been meticulously considered to produce an instrument that is both visually stunning and sonically unparalleled. The back and sides, crafted from Royal Cypress, deliver a brilliant and articulate tone, essential for the expressive nuances of flamenco. A distinctive wedge-shaped inlay of Cocobolo wood, running from the neck joint to the heel, adds a touch of elegance and highlights the exquisite quality of the woods employed. The Honduran cedar neck, reinforced with carbon fiber rods, ensures exceptional stability and durability, while maintaining a remarkably lightweight feel. With a scale length of 660mm, the headstock is a study in elegance, featuring three pieces of Madagascar Rosewood, renowned for its beauty and tonal properties. A central wedge strip of Cocobolo, adorned with red-stained Sycamore, and a crown of African Ebony create a striking visual contrast, perfectly complementing the overall design. The rosette is understated yet captivating, with carefully coordinated colors that reflect the rich tapestry of flamenco. Cocobolo purfling adds a refined, reddish accent, while the African Ebony bridge, adorned with bone in a design that echoes the rosette, creates a visually harmonious instrument.

Crafted from the finest materials, meticulously selected for their quality, this guitar is not only a feast for the eyes but also a sonic masterpiece, ready to inspire the most passionate flamenco artists.

Crafted for the most demanding musicians, this guitar offers exceptional playability with a low string action of 2.5 mm for the trebles and 2.8 mm for the basses at the 12th fret. The bone nut, measuring 52 mm wide, provides ample space between the strings, while the body depth of 92 mm at the neck joint and 100 mm at the heel ensures optimal resonance. Finished with a luxurious French Gold shellac, this guitar offers a stunning appearance and a rich, resonant tone.

Comes with a handcrafted rigid case by @Gabriel Muñoz Braulio.

The flamenco guitar has been tested and a video has been made to demonstrate the sound, so the pickguard on the top has slight scratches when reflected.

HANDCRAFTED AND ONE-OF-A-KIND. Each guitar we create is a unique piece, meticulously handcrafted from select tonewoods. Imperfections are part of its charm, like the brushstrokes on a fine painting. If you appreciate the artistry and individuality, this guitar is for you. If you're seeking a flawless, characterless instrument, we suggest exploring factory-made options.

My flamenco guitar has a string action specifically designed for an authentic flamenco sound. It doesn't have the same string height as an acoustic or electric guitar, so you can't expect the same playability. The 2.5 or 2.8 mm at the 12th fret allows for a precise and powerful playing style, without sacrificing comfort. The slight vibration in the bass strings is a normal characteristic of flamenco, adding richness and depth to its sound. When using a capo, the string action decreases in the upper frets.

The guitar is accompanied by a certificate of the woods used in its construction and varnish. Instructions for maintenance and care.

My flamenco guitars are built for experienced flamenco players. They require a certain level of technique and understanding of the style to fully appreciate their nuances. If you're new to flamenco or don't have a solid foundation in the style, DON´T BUY MY GUITARS.
