Andalusian Guitars Marcelo Barbero 1948 Full Size Body (Ebony Fingerboard Model) 2023 "Andalusian Guitars" aims to produce avant-garde guitars made in Spain.Having mastered the traditional and standard techniques of flamenco guitar makers such as Francisco Simplicio, Marcelo Barbero and Santos Hernández, the team of Andalusian guitar craftsmen creates innovative flamenco guitars that go beyond the standards of Antonio de Torres, who created the prototype of today's classical guitar. This time, the flagship model "Marcelo Barbero 1948 Full Size Body (Ebony Fingerboard Model)" uses an ebony fingerboard, which is rare for an Andalusian guitar.It is made in 2023.A non-cutaway, all-veneer, full-size model.Katsumi Watanabe also loves the cutaway model. Although it has orthodox specs such as a string length of 650 mm and a flat fingerboard, it is equipped with a large body and sound portal (a hole opened on the side of the body), which is standard for Andalusian guitars. The top is made of German spruce, the fingerboard and bridge are made of ebony, the neck is made of flamed ash, and the sides and back are made of tulip wood with an impressive exotic pattern. Compared to a model with a cutaway, the raw sound is louder because it is a full-sized guitar, and the sound has an airy feel but a clear outline overall, perhaps due to the hardness of the ebony fingerboard. As a flamenco guitar, it can be used for both solo and accompaniment, and since it does not have a pickup, you can easily attach your favorite one and use it on stage. Not only the beautiful red-colored body, but also the rosette around the sound hole is decorated with beautiful pearls, and the transparent Golpe plate shows the brand's commitment to looks. This is a high-end flamenco guitar that is purchased from the official distributor "Spain Guitar Online Shop" and has a sense of security.
