Exotic Flamenco Guitars - Anniversary Edition

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 (a special version of the Ébano model) is built with exotic Macassar ebony back and sides and a master-grade Port Orford cedar soundboard. The blanca (a special version of the Oro model) has its back and sides constructed from Hawaiian koa and a soundboard made of bear-clawed sitka spruce.

Both instruments have identical hand-made rosettes with matching bindings, gold-plated tuning machines, premium-quality strings, and transparent upper and lower tap-plates. They are French polished and presented together in an elegant display stand crafted from African bubinga and ebony.
