Jeronimo Peňa Fernandez Concert Flamenco Guitar

The back and sides are made with figured and deep 'purplish, chocolate-brown' rosewood from Brazil, giving this guitar a very exotic look. The soundboard is the highest quality German spruce, beautiful even grain. Ebony fingerboard & headstock overlay. The headstock is exquisitely carved with Jerónimo's distinguishing mark as is the bridge. The back of the neck has also a gorgeous inlaid motif. Fustero tuners. The fingerboard width at the nut is 54 mm, (very comfortable). The neck is straight as an arrow, and the scale length is 657 mm. Action is amazingly low, (2.2 mm @ the 12th fret!) with no buzzing! A true joy to play on the merits of its action alone. The sound is incredible, bright flamenco high end with deep resounding bass, and a longer than usual sustain than most flamenco blancas. Pena's French polish finishing is second to none, his instruments are truly musical works of art! They have been favored by flamenco players including Manolo Sanlucar, Enrique Montoya, and Manu rosewood Escobar. Jerónimo is retired now, at the age of 69. His guitars are becoming increasingly more difficult to obtain, specially in this mint condition & in the rosewood from Brazil version.
