It embodies the rich tradition of Spanish guitar-making, offering an instrument of unparalleled tonal depth, power, and elegance. The label is from Pedregosa, but beneath it is a label from Pena too.

In terms of playability, the guitar is a dream—effortless and comfortable, with a low action that makes it highly responsive. The scale length is 650 mm, and the nut width is 53 mm, offering a traditional yet smooth playing experience. The top is crafted from the finest spruce, while the back and sides are made of stunning rosewood, adding to the instrument’s rich tonal complexity.
The guitar is in good condition—2 cracks have been professionally repaired. It comes with the original case for protection.
This guitar is a true collector’s piece and a performer’s dream, representing the heritage, craftsmanship, and musical excellence of two of Spain’s finest luthiers.
