J.A. Pantoja Martin is a traditional luthier, and
craftsman of the old school. Every part of this handmade guitar (with the
exception of the tuners, frets, tap plate and strings) he has made himself using
hand tools. This is an old school flamenco guitar as well. Maple was the wood of choice for fine flamenco
guitars until the 1930s when the depression dictated the use more
economical woods and Spanish cypress became popular. The tone is
sophisticated and full. It has both a
refined, lovely, warm, smooth honey-like voice that one wants to play
lyrical passages, plus the real bark one expects in a concert flamenco
guitar. Great low, fast flamenco action.
