Manuel Reyes (1934-2014) was undoubtedly the most famous flamenco guitar maker in Spain at the time of his death. Manuel's reputation was so great that Luis F. Leal Pinar dedicated an entire chapter to him in „Guitarreros de Andalucia“ (2004).
Manuel only made around 20 guitars a year. The demand for his flamenco guitars was so great and the waiting list so long that he stopped accepting new orders more than 20 years ago.
Since his death, the demand for his guitars has only increased. It is a rare opportunity to get one of his guitars.

This Manuel Reyes 1961 flamenco guitar has the brilliant flamenco sound from the good old days.
It produces sharp, percussive rasqueado, can also play sweetly, and has a throaty growl if desired. The guitar is ultra-lightweight and therefore has a quick response and the typical explosive tone. The tone has a fine woody vintage character due to the age of the guitar, which has allowed it to develop its very own character with a lot of charm.
Definitely a sound you can fall in love with. A sound that you can find on the recordings of the great old master guitarists.

This Manuel Reyes 1961 flamenco guitar is perfectly adjusted, with a low string action and a straight neck.
The nut width is 52 mm and the scale length 650 mm. The top is made of fine Alpine spruce and the back and sides are made of cypress.
