Felix Manzanero is among the finest guitar makers in Spain. Felix entered the Ramirez shop in 1952, and quickly rose to become one of their master craftsmen. He left Ramirez in 1964, and open his own shop. This handmade concert classical guitar made in 1974 was his 660th guitar. The previous owner purchased directly from Felix in 1974-- and the guitar comes with its original bill of sale.  Other than a re-fret job done a couple of months ago by German Vasquez Rubio, the guitar has never been messed with. The gem of the luthier's art is in almost mint condition: there are no cracks, repairs, dings, scratches, or "playing wear" on the face, neck, sides, or back. The tuners were replaced at some point, but the guitar comes with its original Fusteros (which appear to be fresh).  It not only has the power one expects in a concert instrument, but clear bright tone, excellent intonation at all positions. The setup is optimal, and there is sufficient bone in the saddle to make adjustments should one ever wish to do so.
