Comments
I’ll write more when I record with her. Nice guitar! Newly strung and cleaned, she’s almost mint. Felix was a very special builder with his own flair for design, presentation and sound.
She has miniscule though honest playing wear on the top. The back has a small crack that is barely noticeable, glue repaired and stable.
Please call me at 631-335-5447 if you need further information about this guitar or any of the guitars mentioned. Rich

Listening with high quality headphones or audio equipment is highly recommended including EQ manipulation, if possible. We record everything flat with just a touch of Reverb to relieve dryness. My goal is to record the guitar as realistically as is possible. I speak in the recordings, my thoughts about the guitar (and possibly other things?). My speaking also serves to give you my first impressions and to also give you a balance of the engineering (or lack thereof) versus the sound of the guitar. I simply do not have time to engineer much of anything. Thanks. Rich
MP3 Audio – 180907-1998 Felix Manzanero Cedar CSA – superb guitar, opening up just now after not being played for a long while. Nice and round, clear, projection, with a great voice and ease of play. Very nice!
My Solo Book of sheet music is available here if you’re interested.
