Antonio Mateu Ramis Barcelona SOLD

$10,000

650 mm scale 52 mm Nut, Original Bone Nut and Bone Saddle, Spruce Soundboard and Cuban Mahogany back and sides. Original Fustero Gears. Much like Santos Hernandez and Francisco Simplicio, Antonio decided to utilize Cuban Mahogany for the back and sides. Seven Straight Fan Braces and Bridge Strap, two bottom Chevrons. There are separate kerning pieces attaching both the top and back, in the finest style of handmade lutherie. French Polish. This also works as a Flamenco Guitar, with plenty of room to lower the saddle as well, though it's set up as a Classical Guitar.

This has a sound as if you were inside a cave, very resonant reverberation and with a lot of volume for crescendos and diminuendos. Alexandre Lagoya spoke highly of the guitars made by Antonio Mateu Ramis.
