Francisco Simplicio 1925 classical guitar - master guitar with famous previous owner - a real rarity and a dream in terms of sound.

Francisco Simplicio, one of the most respected Spanish guitar makers of the 20th century, was born in Barcelona, Spain, in 1874. He initially worked as a cabinet maker and then learned the art of guitar making as an apprentice to the famous guitar maker Enrique Garcia. When Garcia died in 1922, Francisco Simplicio took over his famous workshop and soon after won the prestigious prize at the International Exhibition in Barcelona.

This Francisco Simplicio 1925 classical guitar has an exceptionally fine spruce top. The sides and back are made of very high-quality rosewood. The ebony headstock has the typical magnificent carvings and is decorated with the original and extremely high-quality tuners. To the delight of collectors, the guitar is still fitted with the original Tornavoz. The scale length is 648 mm and the nut width is 52 mm.

The sound is incredibly impressive - the guitar has an indescribable depth in every note across the entire register with a great bass and lyrical highs. It has everything you would expect from a great guitar and is very lively and „friendly“ with lots of charm and personality.
The easy playability allows the guitarist to give free rein to his creativity, because you get the impression that the notes literally jump out of the guitar.
Simplicio's instruments with this sound quality are hard to come by, so we are proud to present this very rare and collectible guitar from one of the great masters of the twentieth century.

This Francisco Simplicio 1925 classical guitar originally belonged to the famous composer Juan Parras del Moral (1889 - 1973), who received it directly from Simplicio. Juan Parras del Moral was a very close friend of Andres Segovia and is still known today for his famous standard work „Método para guitarra“.

The condition of the guitar is generally good. It has several cracks that have been professionally repaired over the years. Our luthier has checked the guitar and it is ready for the next stage.

This beautiful Francisco Simplicio 1925 classical guitar is the perfect addition to any historical guitar collection.

We found this interesting recording of Juan Parras Del Morral playing the first recorded version of Asturias in the 1930s. In this recording he plays on this Francisco Simplicio from 1925.
