A great example of these heralded flamenco guitars. There are extremely fine separations in some of the cypress wood grains on the back; they are structurally sound and have been there since the guitar was purchased ( by original owner at the Conde Hermanos shop in Madrid ). A small circular hole exists for optional use of electronic pickup if desired. This instrument is in excellent condition and includes a hard case. Shipped in the USA ( contiguous lower 48 states only ) via United Parcel Service ground ( $100 for UPS 3 day select ).
