Francisco Sanchez Flamenco 2016

This 2016 flamenco guitar by Francisco Sánchez exudes the craftsmanship of a builder who himself comes from the flamenco tradition. Sánchez, originally from Estepa, began his career after years as a furniture maker and guitarist and has been building instruments known for their direct response and musical expression since 1999.

The guitar is constructed from carefully selected tonewoods and classically finished, with a German spruce top and cypress body that provide the dry attack and quick projection you expect from a good flamenco. The rosewood bridge with 59mm string spacing, traditional three-on-a-plate machine heads, and lightweight construction create a playful and responsive character. Bass sounds tight and percussive, while the treble cuts through the mix with clarity and clarity without becoming harsh. 

In terms of playing feel, this Sánchez offers exactly what a flamenco player is looking for: low action, quick response, and a comfortable neck that effortlessly allows rasgueados, picados, and tremolos to speak. The result is a vibrant flamenco sound with balance, volume, and definition, built by a luthier who still finishes his instruments by hand with an eye for detail. A characterful Spanish flamenco from a modern masterwork workshop.

This Francisco Sanchez Flamenco is in excellent condition, with playwear and dings on the top, sides, and back of the body. Some minor dings can also be found on the back of the neck, but all these playwear marks are a logical consequence of playing this exquisite guitar. The guitar comes with a TFOA passport and a hardshell case.
