Anniversary Edition Guitars
An exquisite pair of guitars has been designed to commemorate the 500th
anniversary of the birth of flamenco. It was during the early 16th century
that flamenco began to evolve from a fusion of gypsy (cante gitano), Moorish
and Andalusian folk music. To honour the continuing development of this
captivating and passionate art form, 20 pairs of individually numbered and
signed guitars will be constructed.
Each pair includes one “negra” guitar and one “blanca” guitar. The negra is
built with exotic Macassar ebony back and sides and a master-grade Port
Orford cedar soundboard. The blanca has its back and sides constructed
of Spanish cypress with a soundboard of master-grade European spruce.
Both instruments, which are fully French polished, have identical hand-made
rosettes with matching purflings, gold-plated tuning machines, premium-quality
strings, and transparent upper and lower tap-plates. A custom-made full leather
carrying case and a matching capo/cejilla are included with each guitar.
